Why do young people today earn more than millennials?

The article compares the financial situations of two generations—Generation Z and Millennials—in Slovenia. It cites research showing that Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, starts their careers with higher initial wages compared to Millennials, who were the first generation since the 2008 economic crisis to earn less than their parents upon entering the workforce. The study highlights that wage growth for younger workers has increased significantly, but challenges like high living costs remain. However, experts caution that inflation and potential economic slowdowns could erode these gains. The article also notes that nearly 20% of young people globally are neither employed nor studying, which poses risks to future economic stability.
