65% of young people believe that they live worse than their parents, while three out of four do not rule out the possibility of moving abroad.
The above was mentioned, among other things, by Stratos Fanaras, president and chief executive officer of Metron Analysis, speaking at the conference “Low Birth Rate and Family: Composing solutions for the Demographic Problem” and in the section “The real picture of Greece: What the numbers show”.
The conference took place on Monday, September 21, by the Media2day Group, on the initiative of Euro2day.gr, Iatronet.gr and Mama365.gr, under the auspices of the Region of Attica
Describing the framework within which young people want to move and citing a relevant survey, Mr. Fanaras focused on the following:
- Young people do not want a life that is absolutely sedentary, without the possibility of playing sports, going out for walks, exercising.
- They value remote work more and appreciate it more than we think, with us older people having in mind that quality work also presupposes the physical presence of the person in the workplace.
- 73% receive support from their parents, both financial, expressed regularly or occasionally.
- They would like to have the experience of travel. They very much want to travel the world, because perhaps they were greatly restricted by the crisis within the narrow family environment.
- Their priority is balance and harmony in their lives. That is, this is not a generation which, as in the past, had the ambition of social advancement, of intense work, in order to achieve this. What they seek is to be able to have a balanced life.
