Situation
Growing up in the UK today, our children and young people see a society that is divided through high, entrenched levels of socio-economic inequality. The impacts of this are clear - including higher levels of violent crime, lower levels of trust, higher levels of obesity and an increased chance of suffering from mental ill-health than in a more equal society. Never before has a generation faced the fact that they will be worse off than their parents, or felt so powerless to create change.
Solution
We will continue the work that we are doing amplifying the voices of children and young people in inequality debates in the UK. We will do this by increasing the capacity of more schools to discuss socio-economic inequality, support our youth network to challenge narratives about inequality through artistic as well as traditional activism, embed a Youth Advisory Panel to support the work and engage with our partners and other stakeholders to further develop the Youth Inequality Commission.
