Balancing Work and Learning: Implications for Low-Income Students

This report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce outlines challenges faced by low-income students who work longer hours than their higher-income peers while at the same time aiming to complete their postgraduate education. The report distinguishes between these two groups of students, both on the extent of their financial safety nets and the applicability of their choice of study. It concludes with recommendations to provide support for low-income students in completing their higher education to close the opportunity and education gaps they face.
