The numbers of minority youth, high school dropouts, and teenage mothers--less well-educated segments of the population--will increase. Youth unemployment will rise, although the total number of youth will decline. Women, with their needs for child care and nontraditional employment, will account for the majority of labor force growth. The labor force will also be aging. At the same time, the workplace will change. From 5-15 million manufacturing jobs will be restructured; an equal number of service jobs will become obsolete. Disruptions from change will be great; the need for training and retraining will be significant. Business, public training institutions, school systems, private training institutions, and labor must work in partnership to provide the necessary education and training. The public must see education, training, and retraining as a lifelong process, vital to their working lives. Public/private partnerships are necessary to create jobs in distressed areas. A new employment policy is needed that encompasses traditional public training programs as well as public education systems. New forms of governance should be considered. Public/private institutions at all levels should be strengthened. Business will have to assume greater responsibility in training the work force. (YLB)

Since 1900, the United States has become wealthy and powerful by exploiting the rapid changes taking place in technology, world trade, and the international political order. The last years of this century are certain to bring new developments in technology, international competition, demography, and other factors that will alter the nation's economic and social landscape. By the end of the next decade, the changes under way will produce an America that is in some ways unrecognizable from the one that existed only a few years ago. Four key trends will shape the last years of the twentieth century: the American economy should grow at relatively healthy pace; U.S. manufacturing will be a much smaller share of the economy in the year 2000; the workforce will grow slowly, becoming older, more female, and more disadvantaged; the new jobs in service industries will demand much higher skill levels than the jobs of today.
