This volume brings together the thirteen papers delivered at the Conference on Improving Labor Market Information for Youth, conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor and Temple University in 1974. The papers focus on assessing the role of labor market information in the process of helping to endow young people with what they need to transact with the school-work connection. The beginning papers discuss several of the issues surrounding high unemployment among youth, followed by a factual review of where the United States is and where it is expected to be in the immediate years ahead in some important dimensions of the population, labor force, and employment trends relating to youth. The latter series of papers contain a discussion of the potentialities of improving labor market information for young people, not only in the kind of information but in the manner in which it is made available. Titles of the papers are "The Rites of Passage,""Approaches to the Transition from School to Work,""New Developments in Career Education: A National Perspective,""Proposal for Educational Work Experience,""The New Worker--Implications of Demographic Trends,""Youth Employment and Career Entry,""Youth Employment Opportunities: Changes in the Relative Position of College and High School Graduates,""Improved Labor Market Information and Career Choice: Issues in Program Evaluation,""Improved Job Information: Its Impact on Long-Run Labor Market Experience,""Occupational Data: The Foundation of a Labor Market Information System,""Application of Information Systems to Career and Job Choice,""The California Experience," and "Organization of a Career Information System: The Oregon Approach."
