By the age of seven, children are already facing limits on their future aspirations in work, according to a report from the OECD international economics think tank. Andreas Schleicher, the OECD's director of education and skills, says "talent is being wasted" because of ingrained stereotyping about social background, gender and race. He is backing a project from the Education and Employers careers charity to give children a wider understanding of the range of jobs available.
