Inflation and young people: The thought of things going up is scary

With inflation continuing to rise, young people in London are feeling the pinch now more than ever. In a national poll, conducted by SpareRoom at the beginning of 2022, involving more than 11, 000 people, London came out at the bottom with just 37 of Londoners saying they felt their rent was affordable. There is also a gender gap, with 1, 3 women in London saying they spend more than 50 of their salary on rent, compared with 1, 4 men. This results in young professionals like Jenna and David trying to find alternatives to meet their daily costs. Gem O Reilly reports Subscribe here: Check out BBC London: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter:
