Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1980, vol. 03 RDP, issue 3

Abstract: Excerpts from the article: Youth unemployment is one of our Nation's more urgent problems and likely will remain so in the future, despite a slowing population growth rate. Thousands of youths will continue to leave school without the skills or knowledge that can lead to successful working careers. Some reports indicate that rural youth are hampered by both limited knowledge of the local employment situation and by inappropriate skills in a restricted labor market. No one has determined, however, if national employment and training programs that serve rural youth are dealing adequately with their needs. Until such evaluations are made only a descriptive focus on the rural-related aspects of the Job Corps, Summer Youth Employment Program, and YEDPA can be attempted.
