Amol Rajan investigates how Britain’s elite could create a fairer system for young people from working-class backgrounds trying to secure jobs in Britain’s most prestigious professions.\n\nHe follows Seth, who wants to get into the media but thinks they don’t want white working-class candidates like him, and Adnan, who’s struggling to land a graduate job in the City of London. What are employers and the government doing to create a level playing field for Britain’s working-class young people?\n\nAmol meets leaders of top financial and media firms. Are they really trying to take action on class equality, or are they 'classwashing' – pretending to welcome working class candidates as a PR exercise? He meets the minister for equalities and someone from the top team of former prime minister Boris Johnson, asking whether a government dominated by the privately educated understands the concerns of working-class people.
