Sec. 3115. Youth employment policies and programs


(a) Congressional findings

    The Congress finds and declares--
        (1) 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
        (2) 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
        (3) 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.

(b) Improvement and expansion

    To the extent deemed necessary in fulfillment of the purposes of 
this chapter, the President shall improve and expand existing youth 
employment programs, recommending legislation where required. In 
formulating any such program, the President shall--
        (1) include provisions designed to fully coordinate youth 
    employment activities with other employment and training programs;
        (2) develop a smoother transition from school to work;
        (3) prepare disadvantaged and other youths with employability 
    handicaps for regular self-sustaining employment;
        (4) develop realistic methods for combining training with work; 
    and
        (5) 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.
