MONEY WORRIES HAVE CURRENCY WITH YOUTH

MONASH University’s 2025 Australian Youth Barometer shows widespread financial insecurity among young Australians, with 85% affected in the past year and many feeling they’re missing out on a happy, healthy life. Affordable housing, youth employment and climate action top their concerns. Most struggle to save, face unemployment or underemployment, and doubt they’ll ever buy a home. Researchers say young people are losing confidence in government action and need immediate financial, mental health, housing support and structural reform.
