Many Now on Relief Rolls
Classed in Youth Category
Aubrey William Kevrals That One From Kvrry Six
Persons Supported by Government Between
Ages of 16 and 25.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18 On
the basis of estimates made by the
Division of Research. Statistics
and Finances of the Federal Em
ergency Relief Administration, it
was announced today by Aubrey
W. Williams, Executive Director of
the National Youth Administra
tion, that there were approxi
mately 2.S75.000 youths, between
the ages of 16 and 25, either
members of relief families or re
cipients of relief themselves as of
May. 1935.
This figure. Mr. Williams points
out, reveals that one out of every
six persons who were on relief or
dependent upon relief checks in
May, 1935. came within the youth
category. Of the youths on relief,
two out of every seven were 16 to
17 years of age in the high school
classification. This places some
800,000 young people in this group.
Five out of every seven youths on
relief, or members of families on
relief, were 18 to 24 years of age,
in the college or business or in
dustrial group or employed at
home.
Many Youths Deprived.
In ordinary times, it is safe to
assume. Mr. Williams said that
most of the 800.000 youths of high
school age on relief would have
been in school and most of the l,-
000.000 older youths would have
been attending college or engaged
in productive enterprise of one sort
or another. The hardships of indus
trial depression have deprived
many of these youths of their nor
mal opportunities.
Two out of every five youths
estimated to be on relief as of
last May lived in rural areas, and
three out of every five were found
in cities or the larger towns.
Of every' 25 youths on relief
status, 21 are white and 4 are
colored, with Negroes accounting
for 85 percent of the latter. Of
every 25 youths in the population
at large, 22 are white and 3 are
colored. These figures, it is em
phasized, are estimates, and are
subject to correction.
Youths of Relief.
In discussing the number of
youths estimated to have relief
status of last May. Mr. Williams
said the study shows that approx
imately 1,390,000 were maleBl and
1.480,000 were females. An analy
sis of the youth relief estimates as
of last May reveals that approx
imately 1,400.000 white youths and
310.000 colored youths were resi
dents of urban areas. The analysis
also shows that approximately 1,
150,000 yuths lived in rural sec
tions of the country. Of the 1,065,
000 youths on relief, between the
ages of 16 and 20. 340,000 were
in school while 725,000 were not
in school.
The study shows that in the
urban areas 675.000 males and
465,000 females were cither work
ing or seeking work, and of this
total approximately 930,000 were
whites and 210,000 colored. An
alyzing the urban figure further.
It is revealed that 112,000 males
and 85,000 females were in the so
called white collar classif icatior ;
53,000 males and over 1.000 fd
males were skilled artisans: lf-5,-000
males and 110.000 females
were semi-skilled: 207,000 males
and 136.000 females were classi
fied as unskilled; and over 1,000
males were classified as farm
operators. In contrast to these ex
perienced workers, there were
about 270.000 listed who had never
worked, this figure being equally
divided between males and fe
males. Urban Youths on Relief.
Of the urban youths of relief
status who were neither working
nor seeking work, 119,000 males
and 111,000 females between the
ages of 16 and 17 were attending
school; and 33.000 males and 26,
000 females between the ages of

18 and 24 were also in attendance
at schools. There were 4.000 males
and 23.000 females between the
ages of 16 and 17 not attending
school and 13.000 males and 253.
000 females between the ages of
18 and 24 not attending school.
Further analysis of the urban
youths on relief who were not
working or seeking work reveals
that 3.000 males and 5,000 females,
between the ages of 16 and 17,
were classified as physically dis-
anieci or surienng irora rarumi
illness; and 10,000 males and 23.
000 females, between the ages of
15 and 24, were likewise classified.
The estimates also show that 16.
000 females, between the ages of
16 and 17. either had the status
of housewife or were caring for
dependents without compensation;
and 225.000 females, between the
ages of 18 and 24, had similar
status.
Rural Youth on Relief.
Analysis of the estimated num
ber of rural youths receiving re
lief in May, 1935. reveals that
520,000 were not working or seek
ing work, while 627,000 were
either working or seeking work.
Of the latter, those having current
occupations, agriculturists totaled
281.000, farm operators 41,000,
farm laborers 240,000. Those en
gaged in non-atrricultural pursuits
numbered Z6r.0O. of which 25,000
were without skills. Listed as
having no current occupation were
303.000 youths.
Of those whose usual occupation
was in agriculture, 294.000 were
males and 770,000 females, and of
the males 43.000 were farm op
erators and 251.000 farm labor
ers. Females listed as farm op
erators numbered 1,000, while fe
male farm laborers aggregated
76.000. Of 118,000 rural workers
whose usual occupations were in
other than agricultural pursuits,
81.000 were males, of which 6,000
were white-collar workers, 5.000
skilled workers, 12,000 semi
skilled, and 58,000 unskilled. Of
37,000 females. 6,000 were in the
white-collar class, 8.000 classified
as semi-skilled, and 23,000 as un
skilled. There were 55,000 males
and 70,000 females who had no
usual occupation.
