Jasper and the dream job
Radio One DJ Greg James catches up with unemployed 22 year old London graduate Jasper who harbours dreams of working in the music industry. But with debts of 22,000 pounds, how much longer can he carry on with unpaid work experience?
Jasper is just one of the thousands of young people out of work. One in five of 16-24 year olds available for work are jobless. Without money many are forced to remain living with their parents, unable to move out and start their adult lives. It's estimated that two out of five people in their early twenties are still living at mum and dads.
