Young people growing up in Britain today face a narrowing job
market, high housing costs and the prospect of a lifetime of hard
work with less reward. The ideas of social responsibility that
arose after the Second World War are straining under the demands of
a globalised world. Too often public debate divides Britain's youth
into the 'feral rats' of the London riots and the 'posh boys' of
Eton. Business leaders rail at the entitled and unemployable young
people they are asked to give jobs to, politicians complain about
apathetic teens and commentators devote endless column inches to
the issue of a 'self-obsessed' generation. Georgia Gould travelled
across the UK to uncover the values, aspirations and challenges of
young Brits, from job seekers in Bradford and working-class
families in Glasgow's Easterhouse estate, to student protesters at
Sussex University and young entrepreneurs in London such as YouTube
sensation Jamal Edwards. If we show young people that we trust them
with the future of our country, we will find that they are ready to
rise to the challenge. This timely work points the way towards a
new social contract and gives a voice to young Britain.
