The concluding chapter summarizes the major themes and makes explicit my own views about policy. It offers some recommendations concerning social security, health insurance, child care, births to unwed mothers, and youth unemployment, al-though these specific recommendations are not central to the major objectives of the book. My primary aim is not to gain agreement with my judgments and values, but to provide readers with a clearer view of the facts, a fuller understanding of relation-ships between behavior and external circumstances, and a deeper insight into the issues and dilemmas of public policy.
