Working-class parents do not see film and TV as viable career for their children

Nine in 10 working-class parents would discourage pursuit of such creative jobs in favour of traditional professions

Nine in 10 working-class parents would discourage their children from pursuing a career in film and television because they do not see it as a viable career, according to a report.

Research conducted by Netflix and the National Youth Theatre found that 89% of working-class parents would advise their children against trying to work in the industry because of the perception it is not a sustainable career.
