Unemployment

The reason behind the protagonist's preliminary downfall, is the current economic climate and unemployment issues. On a graph on Google it is shown that 20.9% of people (both sexes) under the age of 25 are unemployed. 18.8% of women under the age of 25 are unemployed while 22.6% of men under the age of 25 are not in work. In comparison for 25 to 74 year olds the unemployment rate is 5.8% with 5.2% of women and 6.2% of men out of work. This shows how the current economic climate effects the under 25’s more than it effects those over that age. This links with the drama genre my film will be of, as they generally show of-the-time issues. Because unemployment and lack of work is such a prominent issue in today’s society and life, I feel it is the right current problem to include in my film. This also links with my target audience as they fall into the group which has the highest unemployment rate.
