Abstract: | This article examines barriers to implementing government programs designed to redress racial economic exclusion. The authors
review the current urban employment environment, and the need for more extensive job training and education programs targeting
young African Americans. A case study is presented of the implementation of one such program in Ohio, the High Unemployment
Population Program. It demonstrates that the most well designed program can fail if staff charged with implementation are
not committed to its goals. In the current racially charged environment of the country, this barrier to implementation is
likely to affect many new government programs throughout the 1990s. The article concludes with several recommendations for
successful program implementation. |
