ACTIVISTS will gather in Glasgow on Sunday to discuss a militant path ahead for Scotland’s young people, amid high youth unemployment and rising insecurity in the workplace.

The Morning Star conference Scotland’s Youth: Back to the 1930s? will include sessions on worker casualisation, uncontrolled rents and the marketisation of education and public services.

Speakers include Scottish Labour frontbencher Neil Findlay, Unite Scotland senior organiser Roz Foyer and Labour national policy forum rep Caitlin Kane.

Youth activists will host a session on renting and the housing crisis against a backdrop of rents rising by 32 per cent in Glasgow over the past five years.

Labour peer Pauline Bryan will lead a discussion on the SNP growth commission report.

This blueprint for Scottish independence was commissioned by the ruling party and stated an opposition to austerity, but figures on both sides of the independence debate criticised the report for its economic conservatism.

The conference will take place in the STUC building on 333 Woodlands Road, Glasgow (200 yards from Kelvinbridge Underground), from 11am
