Economic Well-Being of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youth Transitioning Out of Foster Care. Issue Brief.

摘要

Many young people aging out of foster care struggle to achieve economic self-sufficiency during their transition to adulthood. However, these young people are also a heterogeneous population, and becoming economically self-sufficient can be more of challenge for some compared with others. Although prior research has looked at racial and ethnic differences in the self-sufficiency of young people who have aged out, differences related to sexual orientation have not been examined.
