Abstract
Any discussion of future policies for the education and employment of young people must take account of the changes that have taken place in the economy since the great expansion of education in the 1960s. The 1960s and early seventies provide a benchmark against which to measure more recent trends. This paper examines that benchmark, and then discusses the changes that have taken place in the 1970s and which must be taken into account as background factors in the formulation of future policies.
