Studies show that most young people feel that Social Security will not be there for them in the future, if they think about it at all. Most dont, of course. Either way, the materials are designed to give them the information they need to understand how the program is financed to pay benefits now and in the future. Teachers who use the materials report that their students generally feel better about the program once they learn more about it. Young people are generally surprised to find out the role Social Security plays in providing disability and survivors pro- tection during their working years. This really hits home when they discover that one out of every four female students, and one out of every three male students are likely to die or become disabled before retirement. Or that almost 28 percent of the 43 million persons currently receiving Social Security benefits are under age 65. Todays high school students will be tomorrows workers paying the Social Security taxes that support the system. They need to know what theyre paying for.
