Gen Z are less happy than their parents – and it’s no secret why. Youth unemployment is rising, more youngsters are living with their parents, the cost of living is soaring and social media is cutting off real-world connections.
The Government is mulling a range of measures to tackle the crisis, investing heavily in apprenticeships, launching job interview coaching and even considering a social media ban.
Veterans and People Minister Louise Sandher-Jones, meanwhile, says that young people facing unemployment should “seriously” consider a career in the military. She argues that it upskills youngsters and opens up a range of job opportunities, pointing to “the breadth of careers” available in and out of the military.
