For this policy issue, discuss how the different sectors (public, private and nonprofit) are affected or addressing this issue.
Describe at least one U.S. alternative and one international alternative to address this policy issue. Evaluate these alternatives and provide recommendations to mitigate or resolve this issue. Your recommendations are not only your opinions; they must be derived from the readings and data (you must cite).
You must have at least three citations from different peer-reviewed academic articles. These citations must be different from the assigned course readings (you should read more than three resources to find the best citations). You can also cite a book or a reputable newspaper (The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, etc.), but this would be in addition to the three peer-reviewed academic articles.
