For centuries we have gotten used to the fact that the next generation is better off than the generation before. Better off in terms of income, living standard and health.

This “natural law” of generations seems to break down these years according to the article “Middle-income families, young and being left behind economically, government warned” (By Andrew Grice, The Independent, Wednesday 16 November, 2016).

Young people are not better off than their parents – on the contrary they are worth off.

Uddrag
There are probably several reasons for the increasing social immobility that UK is experiencing these years.

First of all, the public school system (children that receives free school meals) seems to be failing children in providing them with the basic skills needed for a higher education.

Furthermore, the UK educational system for higher education is based on tuition fees – meaning that the student has to pay for their own education.

Young people from less fortunate home of course may have a bigger issue with this compared to young people coming from homes with a higher income.

In the article written by Poppy Noor gives us an insight into the problems of taking a higher education having to juggle several jobs to get by (Transience, poverty and hard work: that’s the lot of the working class graduate in a Britain that reserves its best jobs for the wealthy, The Guardian, Wednesday 16 November, 2016).
