Gallup has been asking the question”How likely do you think it is that today’s youth will have a better life than their parents ” since 1983. If the responses are any indication, the majority of Americans don’t think that Gen Y or the younger iGen will have a good go of it.
In the wake of 9/11, the poll question was answered the most optimistically, with 71 percent responding “somewhat likely or very likely” to the question. Now, however, that percentage has dropped to 44 percent, though millennials themselves responded 57 percent positive to the question.
