Universities NZ dismisses report on 'better-off' trades

Universities are dismissing the new research that suggests the trades offer young New Zealanders a more secure financial future than university study.

But Universities New Zealand says the research is 'misleading' for young people. Universities NZ executive director Chris Whelan joins us with his response.
