Nine papers presented at the conference on Employment Statistics and Youth are presented. Focusing on the meaning of unemployment counts in the U.S., the first three papers included: "Measurement and Interpretation of Teenage Unemployment in the United States and Other Countries" by Beatrice Reubens; "What Do Teenage Unemployment Statistics Measure?" by Orley Ashenfelter; and "Youth Participation Rates and the Availabilty of Jobs" by Francine Blau. Assessing important factors which underlie the employment and unemployment statistics, the next four papers include: "Family Status and Labor Force Patterns" by Martha Hill; "Education, Occupation, and Earnings" by David O'Shea; "Alienation and Adjustment to Limited Prospects" by David Gottlieb; and "Do Youth Really Want to Work?: A Comparison of the Work Values and Job Perceptions of Younger and Older Men" by Patricia Miller and William Simon. The last two papers examine the long-term consequences of the employment experiences of youth: "The Relationship Between Youth Employment and Future Employability and Earnings" by Wayne Stevenson, and "Employment and Earning Patterns: The Dynamics of Change" by David Farber.
