Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. A report by the Bank of Scotland interviewed over 1,000 young people in Britain and found that 77 per cent get pocket money. They might have to do chores to get their pocket money, helping at home with tasks like cleaning, cooking, washing up, taking out the rubbish and ironing.

Different families give different amounts and the average for 8 to 15-year-olds in the UK is about 6 pounds a week. Children in Scotland receive more than the national average and Londoners get the most. Teenagers, logically, get more money than younger children. Some 15 to 19-year-olds receive more than 100 pounds a month. The report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money. About 15 per cent of teenagers have a job. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering newspapers to houses, shop work and restaurant or café work.
