Has the university experience failed millennials?
Description
In this episode, Ann-Marie Bathmaker, co-author of The Degree Generation: The Making of Unequal Graduate Lives, talks about the transition to the graduate labour market, examined through the eyes of a cohort of middle-class and working-class young people.
They discuss the changing nature of the graduate labour market, the promise of upward mobility that universities and governments failed to deliver on, how graduate life differs for working-class people when compared with their middle-class counterparts and the changes needed to allow future graduates from all backgrounds to benefit equally from the university experience.
