Firstly, what we were told hasn't materialized.
What we were told to do hasn't brought the rewards that it brought our parents.
I think also though, it's very clear areas where that's becoming true.
So housing, your area of expertise.
When we think about the accessibility of housing for boomers and Gen Xers, it wasn't there for millennials and it's even less there for Gen Z. There's nuances within that, certainly regional differences, but it's not that accessible route to home ownership, isn't there?
I would say home ownership now is a leap and not a ladder.
And we can go into the details of that.
Number two, education.
The pathway to tertiary education is off the back of creating a system as we did really under New Labour, but subsequently under the coalition and the Tories, is the expectation of going to university and creating a system where basically you sunk or you swam, and if you swam, you got to university.
And obviously that came with increasing price.
And what we've seen is this horrible situation where the price of university has gone up, but the value of that degree has gone down.
Not in all courses, not for all universities.
Okay.
So we've got housing, education, and number three, I think is jobs.
And I think actually this is where there is real crisis for Gen Z because you've got these kind of collision of forces happening
you've got tax on wages, you've got the graduate tax if you're paying back your student loan, you've got an increasingly challenging workplace because of the force of AI, and work isn't bringing the rewards that it did 20 years ago, 30 years ago.
You combine that, education, housing, and jobs,
You know, it's no surprise there's a level of disillusionment and a level of crisis amongst a generation who are, if they can, ever more reliant on the bank of mum and dad.
Yeah.
I think 2008 is a really important moment.
