abstract: 'Prior research has highlighted persistent racial/ethnic disparities in
|
|
|
|
employment and workforce engagement. That said, this research has yet to
|
|
|
|
be extended to justice-involved youth. This is problematic, given that
|
|
|
|
this is a population that may already face barriers to employment and
|
|
|
|
certain racial/ethnic minority groups may then face additional barriers.
|
|
|
|
This study sought to address this gap in the literature by examining
|
|
|
|
whether or not racial/ethnic disparities in employment exist among
|
|
|
|
justice-involved youth and whether these disparities vary across time
|
|
|
|
since adjudication. The first seven waves of the Pathways to Desistance
|
|
|
|
study were analyzed. Mixed effects modeling was used to examine whether
|
|
|
|
or not racial/ethnic disparities in odds of past-year employment existed
|
|
|
|
among justice-involved youth and whether these disparities were stable
|
|
|
|
or variant across time. Results indicated that Black justice-involved
|
|
|
|
youth reported lower odds of past-year employment compared to White and
|
|
|
|
Latinx justice-involved youth. These disparities were also found to be
|
|
|
|
stable across time. These results indicate that Black justice-involved
|
|
|
|
youth should be a priority population for targeting with programming to
|
|
|
|
improve employment prospects. Mentoring and skills development programs
|
|
|
|
may be helpful in this regard.'
