  2. 📽️ Catch up on our latest #CPCCGWebinar recording to hear about new research on how Universal Credit reshapes #youngadults ' #livingarrangements, with #youngpeople significantly more likely to live with their #parents as a result of #UniversalCredit. The impact is concentrated among #unmarried #childless individuals, both men and women, and among young men who are most disadvantaged in the #labourmarket.
