Decline in 1950s dropout rate masks rising numbers
A Population Reference Bureau study of 17 year olds shows dropouts fell from 32 percent in 1950 to 24 percent in 1960, yet the larger 18 year old cohort meant the total dropouts rose from 670000 to 698000. Projections warn 7.5 million youths will leave school in the 1960s, with 2.3 million having only an eighth grade education or less.
