Young people have been hardest hit by a fall in their income during lockdown as more of their money goes on essentials, official data suggests.
The youngest and oldest workers are most likely to have lost their jobs or seen in-come cut owing to the system of state-paid wages.
With little in savings and less chance to cut spending, the under-30s would be hit hardest by this, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
