Growing Apart at the Margins

Synopsis
In 1982, Frank Coffield and his colleagues studied approximately 50 ‘working class’ young adults aged 16-28. The programme revisits the same people seven years on, in their homes and local pubs, looking at their regional background, inherited traditions and present economic circumstances, all of which affect all their aspirations and expectations, and at the type of assistance there is for the young unemployed.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
