Towards Universal Opportunity for Young People
In recent years, there has been a severing of a social contract in Britain which asserted that each generation should be better off than the last, and effort and merit should be rewarded equally, regardless of background. Young people growing up today are paying a high price for this shift. Jenna Norman, Efua Poku-Amanfo and Avnee Morjaria suggest in their analysis for the
Institute for Public Policy Research that the earlier social contract, which was at least partially assumed by the parents and grandparents of today’s youth, are under stress from the weight of compounding inequalities of class, geography, ethnicity and disability which make it harder for many young people to define their own paths. They are now inheriting a challenging labour market and a society in flux.
