National Statistics has published details of the number of households in the UK where none of the working-age adults has ever been in paid employment (at least not officially).
My initial thought was that a figure of just over 300k households was not too bad but on reading further I discovered that this has doubled in the 13 years since 1997. Not so good. Even worse is that over a quarter of a million children live in households where none of the adults has ever worked.
What chance have these kids got?
