Governmental and nongovernmental youth welfare in the new German Lander.

Demands on youth welfare are growing, social problems are increasing, and right-wing extremism and unemployment among the youth are causing long-term social problems. In addition, social budgets are being cut, while establishment of youth welfare departments in the eastern part of Germany has not been completed. The results of this investigation clearly show that in light of these problems, effective youth welfare is impossible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
