The first thing that comes to my mind is a commonly yelled phrase among a
certain political persuasion and age bracket: "get a job”. No, I'm not of
that persuasion. However I think having a job would give you a vivid
understanding of why there are so many more financially insecure young
individuals here.
Essentially what it boils down to is young people have been disenfranchised
by economic conditions and recently passed laws in some countries that make
it difficult for employers to hire young candidates. When you have a larger
younger educated populous with nothing to do they have the time to post on
such forums.
For those here without jobs who don't understand this I'll say this: People
with jobs don't have time to post on internet forums in most cases. It's just
that simple.
Yes- there are some exceptions to this. I know some relatively young bright
25-30 year olds who were lucky and made it rich-or are otherwise doing well
on these very forums. However they are people who created opportunities for
themselves. They didn't necessarily seek out employment. The quite literally
started projects, companies, or similar to fill some niche, and that
propelled them forward.
If the jobs don't exist you have to “make them”. It's harder said than
done of course. Particularly for those in situations where there is
significant educational debts (of which can't be absolved via bankruptcy,
etc), no housing / food security, etc.
