Is There a Problem with the Youth Labor Market and If So How Should We Fix It?: Lessons for the U. S. from American and European Experience Working Paper, Sloan School, MIT, Cambridge MA, February, 1992 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sloan School of Management, MIT Keyword(s): Inner-City; Job Training; Manpower Programs; Manpower Research; Poverty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The employment difficulties facing American youth have long been at the center of labor market policy. In the early 1960's the initial emphasis of the Manpower Development and Training Act upon "mainstream" adults was quickly shifted to a focus on inner city youth. Much, if not most, of the job training associated with the War on Poverty aimed at youth with Neighborhood Youth Corp, the Job Corp, and the summer jobs program leading the way. In recent years youth have had to compete with welfare recipients for resources but young workers still receive a disproportionate fraction of attention nd funding. Although often characterized as youth programs in fact these interventions were more specialized and were typically aimed at poor, often minority, youth. |
