Nepotism more important than ever in 'Intern Britain', claims Debrett's

Nepotism in the British job market is more important for young people than ever before, according to the CEO of the Debrett’s Foundation.

The social mobility organisation found that seven in every ten young Britons use family connections to get their first foot on the career ladder.

The CEO of Debrett’s, Joanne Milner, said that the rise of ‘Intern Britain’ meant that the importance of family favours had grown beyond its traditional role of aiding the privileged.
