Call You and Yours: Are you worse off than your parents' generation?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

On Call You and Yours, we're asking are you worse off than your parents? The Chair of the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission Alan Milburn says the under 30s are missing out on home ownership, job prospects are poor, and the work that is available is badly paid. So have young people never had it so bad? Their parents enjoy final salary pension schemes but these days that kind of workplace benefit is a rare luxury. We want to hear from you about the struggles of the under 30s. Are you worse off than your parents? Or if you're a parent are your children not enjoying the opportunities you did? Email us on youandyours@bbc.co.uk or ring 03700100444 the lines open at 11, or text 84844.
