Impact of the Housing Crisis on Young Australians

The housing crisis in Australia has led to profound stress and feelings of hopelessness among young people, pushing many to return to multi-generational living situations. Individuals with good incomes are struggling to pay rent and facing challenging circumstances, such as working multiple jobs or missing meals just to make ends meet. This shift has altered their lives significantly, as some express that their attempts at adulthood feel futile when they must rely on their parents for housing. The stories shared highlight the diminishing sense of independence and forced compromises on everyday living choices that young Australians are enduring.
