Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and changing pandemic restrictions, youth had to make difficult decisions in the fall of 2020. A new study released today shows that, at the start of the 2020/2021 school year, when faced with unprecedented youth unemployment and postsecondary education moving online, young women aged 17 to 24 responded by enrolling in postsecondary institutions at a higher rate than a year earlier. There was no increase among young men.
