US education faces crisis as projected 650,000 decline in 18-year-olds threatens college enrollment and economy

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • The US is projected to face a **decline of 650,000 18-year-olds by 2039**, marking a **15% drop** in high school graduates.
  • This **demographic cliff** stems from decreased birth rates since the Great Recession, with only brief recoveries observed post-COVID.
  • A decline in applicants is anticipated, possibly leading to a **13% reduction in high school graduates by 2041**, worsening enrollment issues.
  • The reduced number of college graduates threatens the economy, potentially resulting in a **shortage of skilled labor** in several sectors by 2031.
  • In addition, many colleges have already experienced a **15% decline in enrollment** from 2010 to 2021, leading to financial strain and institutional closures.
