Further details

Simon looks at youth - the period in life when the young suddenly disengage from the home unit and plummet from the safety of the family nest. The programme looks at everything from pocket money and exam subject choice to university and whether the property ladder still exists.

Baroness Alison Wolf is the guest expert, who shares her views on whether education matters and how that affects the labour markets. Which subjects should you study at school if you want to be a millionaire? Should you go to university? Take a gap year? What are the implications of all these decisions on your future economic standing?
