Risks that matter for young people

Despite an improving overall economic outlook in the post-pandemic world, economic, social, and financial concerns persist affecting young people more strongly than older generations. This policy paper provides information on young people’s concerns, perceived vulnerabilities, and policy preferences, based on the results of the OECD Risks That Matter 2022 survey. The paper zooms in on employment prospects and access to housing and explores differences among groups of young people. Young people’s satisfaction with government policies and their social policy preferences are also covered, as well as opinions about the role of government.
