UK teens believe they will have harder lives than their parents, research finds

British teenagers believe their generation will have a worse life than their parents, according to new research.

Money, jobs and the climate crisis were named among the concerns of 1,001 teenagers aged 14 to 17 who were questioned by YouGov for the children’s charity Barnardo’s.

When asked to imagine their lives at the age of 30 years, 55% of teenagers said they believed their lives would be worse than the previous generation, while another 34% thought the next generation of children’s lives would not be any better.

Of those surveyed, 9% said they felt “hopeless” about their future.

Lynn Perry, the chief executive of Barnardo’s, said that children believing their lives would be harder than their parents’ “is a sign the social contract is broken and we’re at risk of failing the next generation. It’s our job to make the world better for our children, not worse,” she added.
