Abstract

Training on the job, an important element in the formation of human capital, is a particularly promising objective of government policy for the disadvantaged who, because they require a variety of special services and arrangements, are costly to employ initially. Presently, under the NAB-JOBS program, the Federal Government meets the additional expenses of companies that contract to place disadvantaged workers in specified job-training slots. In the last several years, a number of students and legislators, concerned with the urgency and magnitude of the problem of poverty and alleged deficiencies of the present subsidy, analogize from the Investment Tax Credit, have urged that tax incentives be provided for on-the-job training of the disadvantaged.
