Lucky or Left Behind? The Gen Z Money Story

Is Gen Z the most informed generation in history,  or the most financially trapped? Is a university degree still worth it, or have we sent too many people to study the wrong things? Has Britain gone from a meritocracy to an inheritocracy, where the “Bank of Mum and Dad” are more essential than ever?


Vicky Spratt, Housing and Society Correspondent, investigates the Gen Z story and how bad are things really for young people? This week she is joined by generational historial Dr Eliza Filby.
