Gen Z’s Deepening Anxiety and Distrust in Institutions
The Washington Post highlights the results of the latest Harvard Youth Poll, which reveals that a large proportion of Generation Z is pessimistic about the country’s direction, citing concerns over job security, the economy, and the trustworthiness of political leaders. The Boston Globe adds that over 40% of 18- to 29-year-olds polled feel they are struggling financially or just getting by, with a notable share worried they will end up worse off than their parents. The poll also exposes a growing skepticism towards institutions and a sense of instability among young adults, shaped by high living costs, precarious job markets, and rampant loneliness.

The suspension of food stamps during the government shutdown led to a surge in private donations and emergency state funding to local food banks, underscoring the vulnerability of low-income families and the crucial safety net role of SNAP in the community.
