Drawing on findings from the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute‘s recent report, this webinar will examine why progress in educational attainment does not always translate into equitable economic opportunity. Researchers and panelists will explore the barriers that continue to shape Latino outcomes in higher education and the labor market.
This conversation will bring together perspectives from research, policy, philanthropy, and community practice to examine what changes are needed to strengthen the pathway from education to economic mobility.
