The NEETs crisis: A generation left behind | James O'Brien - The Whole Show

More than a million young people in the UK are classified as NEETs, meaning they're not in education, employment or training. Many want to work, so why are so many struggling to find their feet? James asks whether the advice that worked for previous generations is now useless, and what parents can do when they no longer know how to help their own children. Are we too quick to blame young people rather than examine the barriers they face? Plus, NHS corridor care has become a grim reality in hospitals across Britain. James hears from the people living through it. What's it like to be a patient left waiting in a hospital corridor, or a loved one watching it happen? And how do these conditions affect NHS staff trying to deliver the care their patients need? This episode was recorded on the 12th of November.
