Last week, I reported on The Australian Youth Barometer 2025, which painted a bleak picture of the financial challenges facing younger Australians.
The report notes that 85% of young people report financial difficulties, while 18% face food insecurity.
Housing affordability is a major concern, with only 30% believing they’ll be able to afford a comfortable rental in the next 12 months. Only 42% believe they’ll ever own property.
