Williamson’s interesting study of the ‘Milltown Boys revisited’ distinguished three broad groups separated by work, possessions and life style, with six young men ‘beyond’ the lowest classification (Williamson, 2004, p237). As we move between the safe space of our youth work and the world outside where 14–15 per cent of Muslims are unemployed compared with 4 per cent for Christians (National Statistics, 2006) the contrasts raise the moral question: How effective are we at achieving equal chances for the young people we work with?

All social primary goods – liberty (see Rawls, 1971, p61) and opportunity, income and wealth, and the bases of self respect are to be distributed equally unless an unequal distribution of any or all is to the advantage of the least favoured (Rawls, 1971, p303).
