A recent study based on the Growing Up in Australia longitudinal research highlights that young Australians aged 19–20 and 23–24 are most anxious about housing affordability rather than climate change or employment prospects. Nearly 75% of participants expressed significant concern about being able to afford a home, compared to 42% worried about global economic issues and 41% about climate change. The findings also reveal a strong distrust among this age group toward politicians, political parties, and media, with only 15% expressing any level of trust in these entities. In contrast, institutions like hospitals, scientists, and police received significantly higher trust ratings. The study underscores broader societal concerns around economic stability and political disillusionment, which may influence voting behavior and support for alternative political movements.
