WHITE YOUTH FROM LOW-INCOME RURAL FAMILIES--ACHIEVEMENT MILIEU AND AGRIBUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.

JONES, ARTHUR R., JR.; TAYLOR, LEE

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL YOUTH IS RELATED TO THEIR SOCIAL BACKGROUND. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN AGRIBUSINESS ARE AVAILABLE FOR RURAL YOUTH, BUT THOSE FROM LOW-INCOME AREAS DO NOT PARTICIPATE. SPECIFIC PROGRAMS AIMED AT SHIFTING VALUE ORIENTATIONS ARE SEEN AS NECESSARY PREREQUISITES TO MEANINGFUL EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING PROGRAMS. THIS PAPER WAS PREPARED FOR PRESENTATION AT THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PROBLEMS OF RURAL YOUTH IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT (SEPTEMBER 1963). (SF)
