Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago and other researchers following youth
who had aged out of foster care in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. They found that compared to young adults ages 23 and 24 in the
general population, young adults who aged out of foster care fared poorly
regarding post-secondary education achievement,
employment, and housing stability. Only six percent of former foster youth had a college degree from a two- or four-year school.
