This book investigates the life trajectories of Generation X and Y
Australians through the 1990s and 2000s. The book defies popular
characterizations of members of the 'precarious generations' as
greedy, narcissistic and self-obsessed, revealing instead that many
of the members of these generations struggle to reach the standard
of living enjoyed by their parents, value learning highly and are
increasingly concerned about the environment and the legacy current
generations are leaving for their children and remain optimistic in
the face of considerable challenges. Drawing on data from the Life
Patterns longitudinal study of Australian youth (an internationally
recognized study), the book tells the story of members of these
'precarious generations'. It examines significant dimensions of
young people's lives across time, comparing how domains such as
health and well-being, education, work and relationships intersect
to produce the complex outcomes that characterize the lives of
members of each of these generations. It also explores the
strategies these generations use to make their lives and the ways
in which they remain resilient. While the book is based on
Australian data, the analysis draws on and contributes to the
international literature on young people and social change.
