Description
Kirsty Young looks at the 1980s and 1990s when our pursuit of cash and career had a deep effect on many families. She meets ordinary families as she recalls the impact of Margaret Thatcher, who used her own family background as part of her political message and preached traditional family values. Margaret Thatcher encouraged economic changes which, while enriching some, would lead many families into stressful overwork and others into a stressful lack of work. With a nostalgic dip into the cultural archive of the time, Kirsty also looks at how our desire to pursue success meant delaying starting families, which profoundly changed the shape of the British family.
