Is Wales failing a generation of young people? In this episode of the Senedd Sources Podcast, Ollie Cole is joined by Joe Keen to discuss some of the biggest challenges facing young people across Wales — and what they mean for the country's future.
The conversation explores Wales' education performance, child health, poverty, mental health and the wider political challenges facing the next generation. With concerns around educational attainment, childhood obesity, tooth decay and access to mental health support, what needs to change to give young people in Wales the best possible start in life?
We talk:
🔹 Whether Wales is failing a generation of young people

🔹 Why Wales continues to lag behind other parts of the UK in education
🔹 Child health, obesity and tooth decay in Wales
🔹 Mental health among children
🔹 Poverty, opportunity and the future prospects of young people
🔹 The political opportunity for change in Wales
With young people facing challenges across education, health and economic opportunity, this episode looks at what is going wrong — and what Wales could do to give the next generation a better future.
