Today's students are better off - but at a price


Students have more money at their disposal today than they did seven years ago - but they are having to work and borrow to get it, according to a new study by the Policy Studies Institute.

But while students under 26 saw their income grow in real terms between 1988/89 and 1995/96, mature students' incomes did not. Lone parents, in particular, found it increasingly hard to make ends meet and many experienced financial hardship.
