Generation Z: Dissatisfied, but convinced they can make a political difference
Young people are taking to the streets across Europe in autumn 2026. But how do they view politics and crises?
A new analysis of survey data collected in spring 2024 in Germany, France and Italy shows that Generation Z shares other age groups’ dissatisfaction with how society is developing, but in many places is less disillusioned with politics than older generations. What drives dissatisfaction is above all people’s financial situation, while migration background plays hardly any role.
