Employment, the Private Sector, and At-Risk Youth

Abstract

The high rates of crime and violence in the United States reflect in large part the distress of one segment of our society, at-risk youth. The private sector has a leading role to play in addressing one of the root causes of alienated behavior among at-risk youth—unemployment. In the coming years, our economy will require the participation of all our young people if growth is to continue. Already, thousands of business volunteers are active in over 600 private industry councils around the country under the Job Training Partnership Act to oversee training programs for at-risk youth. These councils offer a means for developing the coordinated, holistic approach necessary for combating the multiple problems of at-risk youth.
