Thousands of young people from the UK’s poorest families believe they will achieve “few” or “none” of their goals in life, warns, ‘Broke, Not Broken’, a new report by The Prince’s Trust and RBS. The research shows that 26% from poor homes feel that “people like them don’t succeed in life”. Young people growing up in poverty are significantly less likely to imagine themselves buying a nice house or even finding a job in the future. They are three times more likely to believe they will “end up on benefits for at least part of their life” and almost four times as likely to think they will “end up in a dead-end job”. The report is based on interviews with 2,311 16 to 24 year olds across the UK.
