U.S. young people aged 12-25 who participate in service activities report greater feelings of career readiness, connection and resilience.
Even as the U.S. birth rate has fallen to a new low of 1.6 births per woman, Americans still say the ideal family includes an average of 2.7 children.
Roughly four in 10 parents have feared for their child's safety at school each of the past four years, the longest such stretch in Gallup's trend since 1998.
Most Americans regard respect, family, trustworthiness, freedom and kindness as important values, but family stands out when asked to pick their top three.
