BARB
The first telivision show that i am going to talk about that relates to my documentary is the apprentice. this is a reality show that is about young business men and woman in a competition where thay have to make sales and the winner judged by sir alan sugar gets to be typicaly hes apprentice.
Show title
The apprentice
Shows broadcast day, channel and timeslot?
The show is broadcasted on thursdays at 8:00pm on BBC1. This relates to my show because y show will be shown on BBC3 which is another brand of BBC and my show will also be on at 8:00pm.
Shows viewing figures for the week?
On average the apprentice has 7million viewers a week.
What similarities does the shows format and content have with my own?
The similarities that the apprentice has with my documentary is that they are both work related, however my documentary is about youths trying and failing to get work and the apprentice is a show about business contestants trying to win a competition to get a job. also the apprentice has a spin off show called the young apprentice which is a game show about young aspiring business men and women trying to get a job with Lord Alan Sugar.
How my show would beat the viewing figures?
My show would beat the apprentice for viewing figures because the apprentice is aimed at a slightly higher audience where as my documentary is aimed at a younger audience aswell as an older audience. also i could get older viewers such as aprents that want to know about how their children can get employed.
The second telivision show i am going to talk about is the secret millionaire. this is a show where a millionaire would go undercover and live the lifestyle of a poor person trying hard to get a job and working and trying to get money. and then at the end of this proccess the millionaire would reveal hes status and donate some money to the business or people he or she has made friends with.
Show title
Secret millionaire
Shows broadcast day, channel and timeslot?
The show is broadcasted on Sundays at 9:00pm on channel 4. this would relate to my show because of the time slot. however i think that my show would get more views because sundays everyone wouldnt stay up to late because of school and work the next day.
What similarities our shows have?
My show is similar to secret millionaire because my documentary is about youth unemployment and the dificulties of trying to get a job. and secret millionaire is about millionaires going undercover and trying to help the not soo well to do.
How my show would beat the viewing figures?
My show would beat secret millionaire with viewing figures because secret millionaire is aimed at a slightly older audience and it is not informing the viewers as to why people have poor jobs and how they got their jobs, where as my documentary will explain why unemploymen is high and what can be done. also sunday evening TV is not very popular because the audience would be tired and getting ready for work the next day or school or college.
show viewing figures?
Secret millionaire recieved an average of around 2.18million viewers every week.
The final show im going to compare with my documentary is question time on the london riots. this was a show where a panel of experts from both sides of the argument over the london riots debated and answered the audiences questions and tied to solve and find out why the london riots happend and what we have learned from it.
Show name
question time
Shows broadcast day, channel and time slot?
question time isnt a weekly episodic programme however this show was broadcatsed on a sunday at 6:00pm on bbc1
what similarities our shows have?
the similarities our shows have is that they are both aimed at the youth. however question time was talking about the youth in the london riots and my documentary is about youth unemployment and why its at an all time high and what other alternatives there are for youths. it links in because the london riots could of been caused from unemployment.
how my show would beat the viewing figures?
My documentary would win over more views because the question time show looks at a more political side to it and it could be boring. also the time it is on is quite early. where as my show is informative and interesting and is on and is on at a suitable time.
After doing my research on these other programmes i would broadcast my show around the time region of 7:30pm to 9:00pm because the apprentice got the most views and that was on at 8:00pm and secret millionaire was on at 9:00pm and got less than half the views so that would be too late. also the question timie show was at 6:00pm and got a small ammount of views because perhaps it was to early. also id show it ona weekday where everyone isnt busy socialising on the weekends and i would put it on on a tuesday, wednesday or a thursday because i feel this is when pepole are most likely to watch TV.

Five key questions
Why is the youth unemployment rate so high?
one reason is that the basic jobs the recquired minimul skill have been taken by immigrants. these jobs where the jobs youths would typically take for part time work or for an easy route into the world of work. now that these spaces have been filled up its alot harder for youths to get into the working world. another reaspn that has been argued to why youth unemployment is so high is that the minimum wage is to high for younger people. however this point can be argued because there are no statistics showing that the minimum wage links in with youth unemployment. another reason is that youth are dropping out of school with very little qualifications therefore they lack the basic skills and qualities they would need to enter the world of work.
http://yougov.co.uk/news/2011/11/24/youth-unemployment-why-so-bad/
how is it measured?
Unemployment is measured by how many people claim benefits. benefits is money the governemnt give to unemployed people. however they can still seek this even if they are looking for work. the government analyse how many people claim benefits and they get their statistics on how many people are jobless from this. however this can be argued that it is not an accurate way to calculate unemployment levels because some people could be working and still claims job seekers allowance. also people could be jobless and not bother to inform authorities so they do not claim benefits and yet they are still jobless.
http://economicsonline.co.uk/Managing_the_economy/Measuring_unemployment.html
who is responsible for youth unemployment?
the main people to be blamed for youth unemployment are employers and the government. people may judge the schools and colleges youths come from for why they are unemployed.because they may say the schools and colleges have not provided the youths with essential skills and education they need however schools and colleges are improving drastically every year. surveys have been conducted and we have found out that businesses have taken money out of developing for the future i.e taking on board youths and young workers and furthering their skills to benefit the business for the future. also the government only listen to what is being said about youth unemployment and react by forever changing the education systems and this is not the way to act.

where can enemployed youths go for help to get employment?
some youths are stuck when it comes to deciding what to when they cannot find jobs. apart from trying again getting jobs they could go to is 15 billion. this is a growing popular choice for unemployed youths because not only they could get a job out of this they could get a lifelong career. 15 billion offer apprenticeships to young people. apprenticeships is the most popular alternative to unemployed youths.
http://www.15billion.org/
Who will this effect the most?
Recent reports have shown that ethnicity wise black youths are more likely to be stuck unemployed. and black young adults. the age varies from 16-24 year olds also young asian women are likely to be unemployed. it is thought that 1 in 6 youths who are asian or black are unemployed.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/oct/17/young-black-men-unemployment-tuc
i have found out from a source of my own that people with typical english names are more likely to be given a job interview or job than people with a name that is foreign.
one reason is that the basic jobs the recquired minimul skill have been taken by immigrants. these jobs where the jobs youths would typically take for part time work or for an easy route into the world of work. now that these spaces have been filled up its alot harder for youths to get into the working world. another reaspn that has been argued to why youth unemployment is so high is that the minimum wage is to high for younger people. however this point can be argued because there are no statistics showing that the minimum wage links in with youth unemployment. another reason is that youth are dropping out of school with very little qualifications therefore they lack the basic skills and qualities they would need to enter the world of work.
