| Description: | Anya Kamenetz is a journalist who covers the unique economic challenges facing Generation X and Y, such as higher education costs, the changing job market, and the dangers of debt. Polls show that voters aged 18 to 31 are more engaged and empowered than they have been for a generation, and they will outnumber the baby boomers in 2008. Candidates are responding to this upswing in youth power. This presentation covers the most important political issues affecting young people, from jobs to education to global warming, and gives students the tools to get involved. This program was recorded at Dutchess Community College in the James & Betty Hall Theatre on March 6, 2008. |
