Abstract
The Government's economic policy has branded nearly a quarter of a million school‐leavers as unemployed and herded them into a dead‐end. The Government's social philosophy will ensure that they stay there. The situation will deteriorate further since the Government views the rising tide of unemployed school leavers as a short term phenomenon soon to go away. It won't. The evidence shouts aloud: there were 28,000 unemployed school leavers in 1968, 58,000 in 1971, 158,000 in 1975, and now 209,000 in 1976 and rising. Today, 20 per cent of young people under the age of 21 are without work.
