§ 19. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Labour what proposals are being con- 116W sidered by his Department to counter the attraction of juvenile workers into blind alley and non-productive occupations and to put a limit to the numbers employed in certain trades.
§ Mr. IsaacsI am receiving the assistance and advice of the National Juvenile Employment Council on the problem of the distribution of young workers in industry. With a view to attracting boys and girls into productive work my Department has been encouraging the different sections of industry to develop schemes of training, improve their general conditions of employment, and so to regulate the intake of young workers as to provide reasonable prospects of continued employment. In addition the scheme for providing adequate vocational guidance for juveniles is being developed.
