Just read in the Evening Standard (not the most reliable source, I know) that 300,000 children in London grow up in families where no one works. Some of the parents are the 2nd or 3rd generation without ever having a job.
HOW is this possible?! Firstly – how do you manage to never ever get any kind of job? Secondly, how do you survive in London with a family without anyone working?
I know that some people will just mutter something along the lines of “surviving on benefits, lazy buggers” or “they shouldn’t have kids, just abusing the system”. To some extent this might be true, but I am honestly shocked about this fact and figure. What can we do to change this? How can the next generation be inspired to break the cycle of unemployment?
