Ed Howker, co-author with Shiv Malik of Jilted Generation, was on BBC 2’s Newsnight last night participating in a discussion about retirement and the generation gap in the UK. You can watch the programme here for the next 7 days – Ed is on 28 minutes in.

Elsewhere, the book has been getting plenty of attention.

Margareta Pagano writes about it in the Independent on Sunday and at Liberal Conspiracy Laurie Penny and Ben Little ask: Why is it easier to cut services for students than elderly?

‘Simply slashing the state, however, will not solve the problems of what Shiv Malik and Ed Howker call the ‘jilted generation’.’ Read more here.

The book is mentioned on Interns Anonymous and Jilted Generation has gone international too, in this piece by Paul Stanway in the Calgary Herald.

Keep up with everything Jilted via the book’s website and / or its Facebook page.
