Less Optimism About the Next Generation’s Future

Gallup: “Americans have as little optimism as they have had at any time in nearly three decades about young people’s chances of having greater material success in life than their parents.”

“In all, 42% of U.S. adults think it is very (13%) or somewhat (29%) likely that today’s youth ‘will have a better living standard, better homes, a better education and so on.’ This marks an 18-percentage-point drop since June 2019 and is statistically tied with the previous low in 2011.”
