Best table to use for "disconnected youth"?

Diana Lavery

Does anyone know off-hand the best table to use for calculating "disconnected youth" (16-19 year olds not in school and not working)?  B23001 only gives me "not in labor force" but not school enrollment part of it.

    Table B14005 crosses employment status by educational enrollment status, but covers only persons 16-19.

    If you want to look at a wider age range you could turn to the PUMS data set, depending on the geography of interest. I used PUMS data analysed on-line through the IPUMS USA website to estimate the number of disconnected youths are 16-24. You can also use PUMS data to further refine your analysis to look at just one sex or specific race and ethnicity groups.
