A plan to construct new youth centers and youth settlements within the framework of youth aliya institutions to absorb some 1,450 Israeli dropout youths and help solve the inter-ethnic gap in Israeli society was proposed yesterday by the head of youth aliya, Joseph Klarman, and the Jewish Agency. The project, which calls for the construction of $1 new boarding houses in youth villages for absorbing 1,500 underprivileged youths, and 10 new youth centers for the absorption of 2,000 youths and for new homes in kibbutzim for an additional 1,000 youths, will entail a budget of $575 million in addition to the regular youth aliya project.
