That 1 serious unemployment and economic disadvantage of a unique nature exist among youths even under generally favorable economic conditions; 1 So in original. Probably should not be capitalized. that this group constitutes a substantial portion of the Nation’s unemployment, and that this significantly contributes to crime, alcoholism and drug abuse, and other social and economic problems; and that many youths have special employment needs and problems which, if not promptly addressed, will substantially contribute to more severe unemployment problems in the long run. include provisions designed to fully coordinate youth employment activities with other employment and training programs; develop a smoother transition from school to work; prepare disadvantaged and other youths with employability handicaps for regular self-sustaining employment; develop realistic methods for combining training with work; and develop provisions designed to attract structurally unemployed youth into productive full-time employment through incentives to private and independent sector businesses; 2 2 So in original. The semicolon probably should be a period.
