Abstract

For the fourth annual Australian Youth Barometer, we surveyed more than 620 young Australians aged 18–24, and interviewed 30 more, about their experiences with the economy, work, education, health and wellbeing, relationships and participation in civic life. Among these topics, themes emerge: the impact of technology and the role of social media, feelings of belonging and exclusion, financial security (including housing and food insecurity) and the need for governments to offer more support.
