«Breaking News» 45 per cent of young people lack a parent who is a ‘role model’

Young people are becoming disconnected from their communities and families, a study suggests.

Many are drawn to social media stars as their role models instead of to their own parents.

The findings from the Prince’s Trust will raise concerns about a generation of youngsters turning their backs on society.

Its survey of more than 3,000 people aged 11 to 30 revealed that 45 per cent do not regard their parents as role models.

This increases to 49 per cent among young men and to 62 per cent for those not in employment, education or training.

Fifteen per cent of young people claim they don’t have any role models at all, rising to 21 per cent for those from poorer backgrounds.

The youngest participants in the survey were significantly more likely to cite social media influencers as their role models.

Thirty per cent of 11- to 15-year-olds point to these online stars, compared with 6 per cent among people aged in their late twenties.

Commenting on the attitudes survey, Nick Stace, who is chief executive of the Prince’s Trust, said: ‘A young person’s life gets increasingly complicated in their late teens and early twenties. It’s a critical point for most people and a cliff edge for some.’

Ian Stuart of HSBC, the bank which co-sponsored the poll, added: ‘Every young person deserves the same chance of being connected to job opportunities regardless of where they live or their background.

‘Positive role models are a key factor in raising aspirations and giving young people the chance to reach their full potential in their careers.’

A young person’s ‘stake in society’ declines sharply between the ages of 15 and 25, the report says.

One in three 11- to 30-year-olds believe that people in their community do not care about them, increasing to 41 per cent among 21- to 25-year-olds. A fifth do not believe their actions have an impact on their community, and this increases to 24 per cent among the same age group.

The report also shows a decline in career aspirations.

Young people are increasingly less likely to believe they will get a job in their perfect career after they reach 20. Fewer than a third of those aged 21 to 25 still think they will land a dream role, falling to fewer than one in four 26- to 30-year-olds.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
