Are young people 'mollycoddled'? Feat. Cristo Foufas & Marvyn Harrison | Storm Huntley

And he says Gen Z - so 13 to 28-year-olds - aren't "robust" enough to enter the work force.

We also heard recently that many Gen Z workers lack the confidence to make a phone call. Jeremy Vine on 5 is on television every weekday at 9:15am until 1:30pm on Channel 5.
