Opportunity in America - Events by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program
A young person's first job is a rite of passage in the US — an opportunity to build skills, save for college, support the family business, or support themselves and their loved ones. And after decades of decline, more teens are working today than at any point since 2008. Yet the labor market often fails them. Many face low wages, unpredictable or burdensome schedules that interfere with school, unsafe or discriminatory conditions, and limited opportunities for growth, belonging, and purpose. At the same time, innovative approaches like apprenticeship, training on safety and worker rights, and purposeful support and mentorship show what's possible when we get it right: jobs that build confidence, provide fair compensation, and open doors to future careers. As we prepare the next generation of workers and community members, the question is clear: what would it take to make every teen's first job a good job and ensure the labor market delivers for young workers? This event — hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program and the Forum for Community Solutions on April 21, 2026 — explores how to create meaningful work opportunities for teens while protecting them from dangerous and exploitative conditions. Our conversation includes opening remarks from Matt Helmer (Aspen Institute) and Gabby Smith (Plate it Forward), followed by a panel discussion with Jessica Martinez (National Council for Occupational Safety and Health), Mandee Polonsky (Northwestern Memorial HealthCare), John Valverde (YouthBuild Global), Taylor White (New America), and moderator Mike Swigert (Aspen Institute).For more information about this event, including a transcript, speaker bios, and additional resources, visit our website.

This Day in Maine for Monday, April 6, 2026.
Grueling work for little pay, that's the daily reality for millions of children across Africa.做着辛苦的工作,报酬却十分微薄,这就是非洲数百万儿童的日常写照。The International Labour Organization estimates about 73 million children in Africa are sent out to work because of widespread poverty, insufficient access to education and conflict, some as young as five years old.国际劳工组织估计,非洲约有7300万儿童因普遍贫困、教育机会不足和冲突而被送去工作,有些年仅五岁。What we're talking about is work that puts their future in jeopardy whether because their health is on the line.我们谈论的是危及他们未来的工作,无论是由于他们的健康受到威胁。They're working in mines, for example, where the imminent danger of a mine collapse or death.例如,他们在矿井里工作,那里随时可能发生矿井坍塌甚至有生命危险。Murtada Al-Haj left school in Sudan when he was 12. For him, it was a choice between study or feeding his family.穆尔塔达·哈吉12岁时就离开了苏丹的学校。对他来说,这是在学习和养活家人之间做出的选择。My mother kept telling me in the future and when our life gets better and not get worse, I'll study and become a doctor. But all of a sudden, the whole situation occurred in Sudan.我妈妈一直告诉我,将来等我们的生活变好而不是更糟时,我会去学习并成为一名医生。但突然间,苏丹的整个局势发生了变化。According to the ILO, 85 percent of Africa's child labourers work in agriculture.根据国际劳工组织的数据,非洲85%的童工从事农业劳动。Across all sectors, many are subject to backbreaking labor, long hours and exposure to dangerous environments. Rights advocates say injuries are not the only problem.在所有行业中,许多人都要承受繁重的劳动、长时间工作,还要暴露在危险的环境中。权益倡导者表示,受伤并非唯一的问题。There are other negative aspects because the children's self-esteem is low. Because all the time he faces insults, he has a low self-esteem.还有其他负面影响,因为孩子的自尊心很低。因为他一直面对侮辱,所以自尊心很低。Because all the time the factory's owner insults him, makes him feel that he is less than anyone. So you are already bringing up a generation that has no self confidence.因为工厂老板一直在侮辱他,让他觉得自己不如任何人。所以你正在培养一代没有自信的人。Experts say putting kids to work is no solution to extreme poverty.专家说,让孩子们工作并不能解决极端贫困问题。They don't have the opportunity to get an education and learn those skills that would enable them to get a decent job and become productive workers when they're older.他们没有机会接受教育,学习那些技能,这些技能能让他们在长大后找到一份体面的工作,成为有生产力的工人。Several African governments including Ivory Coast, Mali, Rwanda and Nigeria have taken steps to address the worst form of child labor, but it's not enough.包括科特迪瓦、马里、卢旺达和尼日利亚在内的多个非洲国家政府已采取措施解决性质最为恶劣的童工问题,但这还不够。Poverty, illiteracy and cultural belief, religious prejudices, these are some of the reasons that I was actually affected, you know, the efficacy.贫穷、文盲、文化观念和宗教偏见,这些问题我都曾经遭受过,我可以感同身受。Major U.S. companies including Apple, Google, Hershey's and Nestle USA have come under fire for allegedly failing to combat child labor in their supply chains.包括苹果、谷歌、好时和雀巢在内的美国主要公司因被指控未能解决供应链中的童工问题而受到抨击。The companies say they're committed to responsible sourcing that prohibits the use of child labor.这些公司表示,他们致力于负责任的采购,杜绝聘用童工。The UN's goal is to end child labour by 2025, an ambitious goal for our continent with the highest rates of child labor in the world. 联合国的目标是到2025年消除童工现象,这对我们这个拥有全球最高童工率的洲来说,这是一个雄心勃勃的目标。
Ep 252 | Some kids miss two weeks of school every fall — not for vacation, but to go harvest potatoes in Idaho. We call it hard work, but the internet calls it child labor. This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara give their take on the viral reel, break down why the Non-GMO label is mostly just marketing, and deliver some bad news for fans of a popular drink — but don't worry too much, they found a backup plan for drinks this summer. What We Discovered This Week
Your morning coffee may come with a side of modern slavery, child labor, and mass deforestation and it only costs 2-3 cents more per cup to fix it. In this episode of Purple Political Breakdown, host Radell Lewis sits down with Etelle Higonnet, founder and director of Coffee Watch, Yale Law School graduate, and internationally recognized human rights attorney who has been knighted by the French government for her pioneering work to curb deforestation in high-risk commodity industries. With experience at Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Greenpeace, and two war crimes tribunals plus fieldwork in over 30 countries Etelle brings unmatched expertise to a crisis most coffee drinkers know nothing about. Together they break down how the coffee industry traps 125 million farmers and workers in poverty, why coffee is the sixth largest driver of deforestation worldwide, and how exploitation in coffee-producing countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico directly fuels the immigration crisis at the U.S. border. They also tackle growing skepticism around NGOs, why certifications like organic and fair trade fall short, what Coffee Watch's groundbreaking lawsuits and CBP customs petitions could mean for the entire industry, and what everyday consumers can do right now to push for real reform. Whether you care about human rights, environmental destruction, or just keeping your coffee affordable, this episode connects the dots between your cup of joe and a global crisis hiding in plain sight.

In Home Work: Gender, Child Labor, and Education for Girls in Urban America, 1870-1930 (U Chicago Press, 2025) historian Ruby Oram tells the story of how middle-class, white women reformers lobbied the state to implement various public education reforms to shape the lives of girls and women in industrial cities between 1870 and 1930. Women such as Jane Addams and Florence Kelley used education reform to target working-class communities and advocate for their middle-class ideals of girlhood and femininity, which could vary depending on the racial or socio-economic backgrounds of the girls. For example, reformers generally encouraged white girls to care for their future families, while pushing Black girls toward becoming domestic workers in others' homes. Using Chicago as a case study, Oram also explores how many of the reforms sought by white women were in response to evolving anxieties about immigration, health, and sexual delinquency.An illuminating addition to the history of urban education in America, Home Work enriches our understanding of educational inequality in twentieth-century schools. Allie Morris (aemorris5@wisc.edu) is a joint Ph.D. student in Educational Policy Studies and History at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. She broadly studies gender, age, and education in the late 20th-century United States. Her current research focuses on the political history of girlhood from the 1960s to the 1990s, examining girls' culture and activism in the American high school. Learn more about your ad choices.

“Meet the man who built RFK Jr's kitchen cabinet” goes the title of a recent investigative article in Politico. Yet that man, Jeffrey Tucker, is much more than that. In fact, you can make the case, as Politico does, that Tucker is one of the main driving forces behind MAHA. We've covered Tucker before on this podcast, including two previous interviews with his estranged daughter, Julia—who Matthew will again be talking to in segment 2 today. Derek will then talk to Duke professor Gavin Yamey, who was cited in the article as well. Before that, we return to Jeffrey Tucker, founder of the Brownstone Institute, architect of the Great Barrington Declaration, a romantic faux-libertarian who wants to see the return of childhood smoking and the demise of child labor laws and seat belts, and, as Politico uncovered, a man who had to leave a prominent position at a libertarian think tank due to accusations of sexual misconduct.

In this follow-up episode, Mark Headley shares his extraordinary experiences within Scientology and the Sea Organization. He recounts being recruited into the Sea Org, working under extreme conditions in Los Angeles, and eventually being promoted to the international headquarters. Mark reveals the demanding nature of life in the Sea Org, including grueling work schedules and minimal pay.

The reach and impact of our food systems – that is, the complex, interconnected, and globalized web of institutions, resources, and processes that bring food from the farm, to the table, and into the waste stream – is universal: every single one of us has either worked in ourselves, or known people who work growing, raising, producing, processing, packing, transporting, preparing, or serving the food we all eat.In the food we consume, we become connected to the conditions, the labor, and the people of the food system that produces it. Fully 1 in 10 American workers, over 17 million people, work in paid frontline food system jobs. And millions more work at home to plan, shop, prepare, and in many households, grow the food their children and families eat.There are massive implications for schools as well, as they participate in the food system directly to bring literally billions of meals to children each year, and as labor in the food system impacts the families, children, and communities our schools serve.My guests today are Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern and Teresa M. Mares, associate professors and co-authors of Will Work for Food: Labor Across the Food Chain, available from University of California Press in September. Their book captures the grim realities faced by food workers alongside the opportunities for solidarity at every point in the system while amplifying the successes and challenges faced by movements to make food work, good work.“As long as people are suffering to get food to our plates,” they write, “we need to center food workers in any vision for a just food system.”Will Work for Food book from UC Press

We discuss: Bo is turning around a Youth Sports Complex that was losing millions/year. “Never skip a funeral and always hold a baby” Investment updates across nuclear energy, asteroid mining, robotics, and batteries. Why enthusiasm, networks, and timing matter so much in early-stage investing. Quotes from Bo: "This was like 11 businesses stuffed into one building… and none of them were working yet." "My job right now is teaching people who love what they do how it fits into a business." "We get 2 to 3 calls a week from private equity firms, and I tell them all: don't do it." "It's a 600-person organization… a real thing with real complexity." "Maybe it's a $30 million business—manageable, understandable, and ridiculously high impact." "It's a cartel-organized market. You need to be a trusted actor to even play in it." "Helping it really succeed is time well spent—for Kansas City, for the kids, and for everyone here." "The youth sports market is a $40 to $80 billion space, and it's on fire." "There's not a lot of credible business builders in this space—and I haven't found another one yet." "In 50 years, this will be even more awesome. I love working on stuff like that." Quotes from Al: "You couldn't just copy-paste this business into another city. You need deep trust and local knowledge." "This is a fun community challenge. If you get it right, you leave a real legacy." "I texted Bo—‘We did it'—because Eric and Jeannine had a baby. That's how we all felt." "The bond between dad and baby isn't immediate. But it grows—and it's worth it." "I fixed the cheeseburger at Home Field before Bo was even involved." "Once you have a baby, every infant photo becomes magic." "The best underappreciated part of being an entrepreneur? You can get your kids working early." Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important. Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.

It's News Day Tuesday… or Tuesday News Day. Either way, it's Tuesday. On today's show: Charlie Hurt and Charlie Kirk join Fox & Friends Weekend to argue that deporting migrant workers would create job opportunities for American children—like picking blueberries or working construction. Jewish-Israeli refusenik Iddo Elam joins us to discuss his recent imprisonment for refusing to serve in the IDF. We also explore how Israeli children are indoctrinated from a young age to view military service as sacred, and how the average Israeli perceives American media coverage of the conflict. In the Fun Half: Laura Loomer stops by the Patrick Bet-David Podcast to settle her beef with Nazi influencer Nick Fuentes—and shockingly, her issues with him aren't related to him being a NAZI. A Republican Senate candidate in Georiga (yes, spelled like that) has trouble spelling the state he hopes to represent. Meanwhile, Senator Jon Ossoff understands that a more progressive platform is what works with purple state voters.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes the escalating war on ICE and the coordinated left-wing effort to obstruct immigration enforcement. As ICE agents face violence, harassment, and even attempted murder, Democrats and media elites continue to fuel the fire by comparing law enforcement officers to Nazis and labeling detention centers as “concentration camps.” Nick dismantles the false narratives, reveals how child labor scandals tied to Democrat donors are being whitewashed, and shows how the same people who weaponized the federal government against parents and Catholics are now accusing Trump of authoritarianism for simply enforcing the law. Episode Highlights: Radical activists stalk, harass, and attempt to murder ICE agents while Democrats cheer from the sidelines Child migrant labor exposed on a California pot farm, but media calls it a “farm raid” The same party that weaponized government against parents now cries “fascism” when Trump enforces immigration law

In this episode, the host unpacks a tangled web of allegations surrounding the Trump administration's handling of Jeffrey Epstein files. Insiders, including Trump's attorneys, claim critical evidence naming powerful figures is being suppressed to protect reputations. The discussion highlights conflicting public statements from Trump—first denying the files, then accusing Obama and Hillary of creating them—fueling further suspicion. The episode also delves into disturbing reports of child labor and trafficking at California farms employing unaccompanied minors, linking cartels, political donations, and exploitation. Guests argue the crisis has deep ties to failed immigration enforcement and political cover-ups. Finally, the show explores why, despite bipartisan outrage over Epstein and child exploitation, accountability remains elusive—and how social media is reshaping what the public knows.
These segments reveal explosive claims tying together elite corruption, government cover-ups, and child exploitation. First, insiders from the Trump administration—including attorneys and former officials—allege that documents detailing Jeffrey Epstein's powerful clients are being deliberately suppressed to shield influential figures. The discussion highlights contradictory statements from Trump himself, who alternately denies the existence of incriminating files and blames political enemies for creating them. Meanwhile, a separate investigation exposes a shocking modern-day slave trade in California: unaccompanied migrant children trafficked by cartels and forced into farm labor. The show connects political donations, lax border policies, and failures of both parties to protect the most vulnerable. Together, these reports paint a disturbing picture of systemic abuse and the lengths to which leaders will go to avoid accountability.
Child labor is no laughing matter. Even though we've taken care of it in the USA (mostly), it's still an issue around the globe. Listen to this classic episode and learn!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they close the week by focusing on former Sec. of State John Kerry lurching to the truth about the border, the left's incessant lying about ICE personnel and operations, and the latest oddities in the New York City mayor's race.First, they are truly stunned to hear common sense coming from John Kerry. In an interview, Kerry said the southern border was "under siege" during the Biden years and that "Trump was right" that you cannot have a nation without protecting the border. Jim finds it fascinating that these comments would have made Kerry a pariah in his own party if he said them last year.Next, they break down ICE's recent raids on Glass House cannabis farms in California, where authorities found numerous illegal workers, including unaccompanied minors. But instead of outrage at the exploitation, Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom and media outlets attack ICE for enforcing the law. Jim pushes back on the narrative painting lawbreakers as victims and federal officers as villains.Finally, they dissect the latest twists in the New York City mayoral race. Despite losing the Democratic primary, Andrew Cuomo remains eligible for the November ballot. Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams is now polling in fourth place, behind socialist Zohran Mamdani, a hypothetical Cuomo run, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.Please visit our great sponsors:Manage your workplace stress with Better Help.

Today's Headlines: The Group Chatgate saga escalates—WSJ reports that classified Israeli intelligence, including details on a Houthi missile expert, was leaked in the Signal chat before a U.S. strike. Meanwhile, the White House says Elon Musk and his DOGE team will “investigate” how this chat leak happened. Trump's latest executive order targets law firm WilmerHale over its ties to Robert Mueller, stripping its federal clearances and contracts. Meanwhile, his administration continues its crackdown on foreign students—two PhD candidates with legal visas were detained, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted to revoking 300+ student visas for alleged protest involvement. Trump also announced sweeping 25% tariffs on foreign cars and parts, which analysts warn will hike prices by $4,000–$15,000 per vehicle. Over at HHS, RFK Jr. is slashing another 10,000 jobs and restructuring key health agencies. In Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson suggested defunding entire federal courts in response to rulings against Trump.
