Written by one of the leading advocates of the British welfare state, this book explores the problem of juvenile unemployment and the ways in which government programs can help to address it. Drawing on his own experiences of working with unemployed youth, Arthur Greenwood argues for the establishment of labour exchanges and after-care programs as a means of providing young people with the skills and opportunities they need to succeed in the workforce. This is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the welfare state and its continuing relevance today.
