Abstract: Abstract More extensive or effective vocational training has often been seen as the most powerful remedy for both the poor employment prospects of young workers and youth joblessness. The issue of public sector support for employment-based training, especially for young workers, has once again been placed high on the policy agenda of several western countries. Both Italy and the United States, on which we focus in this chapter, have seen calls for larger and better investments in youth training. It seems likely that increased public funds and effort will be forthcoming (AFL-CIO, 1988; Grant Foundation, 1988; MIT Taskforce, 1989; Ministero del Lavoro, 1989).
