flag Young Australians 18–34 report declining well-being due to perceived lack of control, despite government aid.

flag Young Australians aged 18 to 34 are facing rising despair and declining life satisfaction, driven by a perceived lack of control over their futures, according to a Centre for Independent Studies report. flag The study, based on interviews and qualitative research, found that a sense of personal agency strongly correlates with well-being, even without financial privilege. flag Despite government programs like subsidized education and rental aid, which focus on symptom relief, the research suggests these measures often substitute for unmet aspirations—such as homeownership—without addressing root causes. flag The study identifies six distinct demographic “tribes” within the cohort, highlighting diverse values and experiences, and calls for policies that prioritize restoring agency and long-term opportunity over temporary support.
