EMQs Young People Special: Why won’t politicians listen to the next generation?
1Description
Why do the concerns of young people barely register in political debate? Ed Balls and George Osborne take questions on the widening gap between the careers young people dream of and the jobs actually available, and why debt, unaffordable housing and the loss of defined benefit pensions leave the next generation feeling shortchanged.
They discuss whether the government should take more responsibility for opening up opportunities and how early aspirations are shaped by who you know and what you see.
Plus, they debate if Britain should rejoin Erasmus+, which politicians will still be remembered in 100 years, and what the future holds for our rivers and seas in the face of sewage pollution and hosepipe bans.
