William T. Grant Foundation Commission on Work, Family and Citizenship. 1988. The forgotten half: Non-college youth in America. Washington, DC: William T. Grant Foundation Commission on Work, Family and Citizenship, 99 pp.

Annotation: This report describes the new economic realities which make it more difficult for non-college youth to make a successful transition to self-sufficient family life or independent living. It analyzes ways to improve the school-to-work transition, including school-based options, transitional devices to bridge the gap from school to work and to tap the resources of the community, and added-chance employment training opportunities for youth who have not completed high school. The need for an effective, equal access lifelong learning system for all Americans is emphasized. The report also presents a case for additional public funding of proven programs for children and youth.
