Life after COVID 19 will be different for all of us, particularly young Australians.
The crisis-driven economic downturn is hitting young people hard – they’re vastly over-represented in sectors where millions of jobs have been lost, and they’ll be left to shoulder much of the financial burden for years to come. Lockdown laws have disrupted university, night life, overseas travel and in many cases living out of home for young people.
So what does the future look like for young Australians? Will it be harder to find work, buy a home, get a degree? How will their way of life change? The young have paid a high economic price for this crisis, so has the time come to address the intergenerational debt?
