Season 1 | Episode 141
Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, have been branded with a chilling moniker: "Generation Doom." But what's behind this stark label?
Tonight, why are our youth, who should be brimming with hope and ambition, drowning in a sea of despair? Many Gen Z’s wake up each day questioning the very point of trying. The life their parents enjoyed - a home, a family, financial stability - seems like a far-flung fairytale, replaced by a grim reality of crushing debt, astronomical housing costs, and a job market as stable as quicksand. Add in the toxic mix of the looming specter of climate change, unyielding political turbulence and unrest, and the relentless negativity pumped through social media feeds, and you've got a perfect storm of despair. But is it all doom and gloom? Or is there a glimmer of hope hidden beneath the surface?
