Colin Crooks: The Let-Down Generation 27 Jun 2012




Four Thought show

Summary: Serial social entrepreneur Colin Crooks argues that politicians and the media are wrong to focus on youth unemployment. Instead, he says, we should all be worried about the very high levels of persistent unemployment amongst the "let-down generation" who were failed by poor education between the seventies and nineties. Teaching them the lessons of being in work, he argues, would not only benefit them, but their children, too.
