Dimensions of Exclusion
Summer 1999, v15-3
	A study conducted under the auspices of the Joint Enrichment Project in 1991 found that: 27 percent of young people between the ages of 16 and 30 were considered marginalized. 43 percent of young people were at risk: a fact that shows increasing signs of alienation. 5 percent were thought to be severely disengaged, showing significant signs of trauma, alienation, and possible participation in crime and violence. Only 25 percent of young people between the ages of 16 and 30 were thought to be "fine." By 1989, only one in ten young people could find employment in the formal economy.
