摘要

This report is a summary of the start-up period of the Youth Incentive Entitlement Pilot Projects (the formal title of the Youth Entitlement Demonstration program). The Youth Entitlement Demonstration is one of the experimental initiatives mandated by Congress in the Youth Employment and Demonstration Act of 1977. The Department of Labor engaged the Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation (MDRC) to manage the research and analysis of the demonstration and to coordinate the implementation under the direction of the Department of Labor's Office of Youth Programs. This report covers the implementation of the project in early 1978, recruitment and enrollment, assignment of youths to their worksites, characteristics of enrollees, and other data.
