    What the heck are people doing instead of Saturday jobs? I worked in a petrol station and did a paper round for years. Taught me punctuality, work ethic and a respect for spending money I had worked hard to earn. And I only got £2 an hour in the mid 1990s

        I worked 25 hours down pit and left for work before I got out of bed. Try telling that to young people today!

        Fortunately we elected a labour government in 1997 and brought in the minimum wage

        I was doing a £10 a week paper job aged 14 in 1999, so... Idk how they circumvented the rules, or what loopholes there were - but this was very very normal.

        According to the story, they're studying. From what I've seen of my daughters and their friends, they're doing that AND working weekday evenings

        I've been applying for Saturday jobs for approx a year, with a strong CV backed up by 2 years of retail experience. It's not for want of trying. Myopic to imply laziness!

        Given decline in music and sport in school many children have to do these for much of Saturday/Sunday - there is also more homework these days

        The ready availability of adults who will work part-time, unsocial hours, or for not much money will have contributed to a dearth of traditional work for kids. ‘Mobilisation’ of older people, second-earners in couples, single parents, and of course people from abroad.

        Not many paper round jobs nowadays as more and more readers stop buying newspapers!
