Future prosperity in the Sacramento Capital Region will depend on creating better educational and economic opportunities for the area’s youth, according to a new two-year study from UC Davis. We discuss the study’s results from our Sacramento studios.

Young people in the region are facing serious challenges such as high dropout and jobless rates, and inadequate health care.

Chet Hewitt, president and CEO of the Sierra Health Foundation, which commissioned the study
