Youth Opportunity: Employment + Child Poverty

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Post-school youth empowerment debate (nid 34608) found consensus on constructive engagement outside academic hours. Youth mental health and education debates emphasized early intervention. Child poverty reduction is a cross-cutting theme across food security, housing, and education consensus summaries. Chain: social_services_spending -> child_poverty_rate (-0.01, d4), youth investment -> youth_unemployment (-0.15, d4).

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 69). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
