The problem of finding employment for young persons is part of the bigger problem of finding a field of labour for all persons who are able and willing to work.

Further measures may be taken to deal with the specific problem of finding useful employment for young people who have completed the school-leaving age when the recommendations of the Youth Employment Commission become available.
