Uneasiness and pessimism abound among the majority of the world's population.
Deloitte has released its Global Millennial Survey of 13,416 Millennials (born between 1983 and 1994) spread across 42 countries and 3,009 Gen Z respondents (born between 1995 and 2002) from 10 countries. The firm has conducted the survey for the past eight years. The percentage of respondents who think that businesses are making a positive impact dropped six points from 61% in 2018 to 55%. ``I would say that for businesses, the most important takeaway is the continuously diminishing trust of Millennials and Gen Zs, " says Deloitte Global Chief Talent Officer Michele Parmelee. While the two generations have strikingly similar views of the world, Parmelee said survey data shows that their points of view differ in a few significant areas, such as life priorities and their perception of society and work. Generally, only about half of both groups aspire to purchase a home, and even fewer desire to start a family.

Some of the people quoted in the article were as old as 37, which was considered elderly only 5,000 short years ago. Genervacation: why the ‘bank of mum and dad’ now offers travel. The “bank of mum and dad”, that increasingly common source of financial support for young adults struggling with student loans and booming house prices, is going into the travel business.
Tourism experts are predicting a surge this year in the number of parents planning to take their cash-strapped twentysomething children away with them when they go on holiday. It appears that the baby-boomer generation is weighed down with a sense of guilt for still having cash to spend when its adult offspring are laden with debt, struggling to find work, and finding it almost impossible to save for a deposit.
