Out of School, Out of Work

Dole queues in Britain's depressed areas are getting younger as thousands of teenagers released from school join the unemployed. In Sunderland, where unemployment is more than twice the national average, Jim Douglas Henry found 2,000 school-leavers chasing 100 jobs. From Sunderland Desmond Wilcox invites the young unemployed and their parents to talk about a way out for the future with industrialists, union leaders, councillors and education experts.
