This paper compares education and employment outcomes for foster care youth in comparison with outcomes for youth in the general population. The comparisons are based on data from the NLSY. In 1988, questions concerning childhood residence allow one to determine whether respondents were ever in foster care as well as other details of foster care status. The major advantage of these data is that it permits comparison of foster care youth with the larger population. Topics examined include information concerning foster care status, relation to other youth, education, employment, income, other outcomes, and relevant aspects of foster care experience.
