Half of Latinas Say Hispanic Women’s Situation Has Improved in the Past Decade and Expect More Gains
Government data shows gains in education, employment and earnings for Hispanic women, but gaps with other groups remain.
Just one-in-ten Hispanic high school drop-outs has a General Educational Development (GED) credential, widely regarded as the best “second chance” pathway to college, vocational training and military service for adults who do not graduate high school.
A national survey finds that Latinos from ages 16 to 25 are satisfied with their lives and optimistic about their futures. They value education, hard work and career success. But they are more likely than other youths to drop out of school, live in poverty and become teen parents.
