Carroll, Jennie, et al. Alongside strong and
negative peer pressure,
the young generation
happens to be in
constant fights with the
older generation due to
communication gap.
There is a
communication gap
between the new
generation and the
older generation.
Besides, there is the
illusion that young
people have an easier
life compared to their
parents. The reality is
that the young
generation today have
to make an extra effort
to obtain jobs that are
in line with their
educational
backgrounds and
training
There is a significant
growth in the size of
the elderly population.
The huge population
becomes a burden on
young people to
provide essentials such
as food and healthcare
to them.
Despite the young
generation being highly
educated as compared
to the older generations,
research shows that
these group of people
need to go an extra mile
for them to be of value
in the job market.
The new generation is
experiencing social
problems; they are
unable to get married at
a certain age due to
financial constraints.
The new generation has
poor social skills and a
poor emotional health.
There thinking is
distorted by technology
and popular culture.
Sharlene Gale S. and
Graeme Codington
Sharlene and Graeme
are in agreement with
Madhuka that young
people have a greater
burden in finding work
and meeting basic
needs for themselves
and dependants
Both are of the opinion
that education is no
longer a highway to
success or riches.
Opposing view with the
idea that millenials are
increasingly getting
employed. Young
women are likely to be
working as compared in
the past.

Technology brings
about social
disconnection that adds
to the many challenges
faced by the young
generation

Thompson, Derek
Young generation have
a high dependence ratio
with a majority still
living with their parent
due to lack income
Opposing view. The
young people have a
high dependence rate to
the elderly.
New generations cannot
advance themselves in
business since virtually
all investments are
risky due to
globalization and
uncertainty in the
markets.
Opposite view. New
generation are more
socially connected with
broader professional
networks. Making them
open to the diversity in
the world.
Richard et al.,
Technology has created
a gap between the two
generations
Diversity means
increase pressure to
conform leading to high
levels of dissatisfaction.
Diversity, technology
and education are not
enough to guarantee
happiness.
Opposite. Media builds
social networks
amongst young people.

Technology creates
mental health problems
due to social
detachment.

New generations are
more diverse and
racially tolerant.
