Pressures faced by those in their 20s and 30s

Since posting about the event at the Y Theatre on 19 June - Better than alright?, I've been looking at the research conducted by Care for the Family's 2030 Vision project. Their survey of people in their 20s and 30s revealed that the greatest issues affecting them are (in order):
  • Career and finding fulfillment in working life
  • Debt and money worries
  • Appearance, self-worth and image
  • Building and maintaining friendships
  • Seeking a long term partner
  • Relationships with parents and siblings
  • Sex and/or sexuality
  • Issues with marriage or long-term relationship
One respondent said, "We want what every other generation has craved - friendships, relationships and significance".
