Challenges Facing India's Gen Z: Housing Affordability and Work Motivation Concerns
Two main perspectives emerge on challenges faced by India's Gen Z. One highlights a middle-class employee earning Rs 1 lakh monthly struggling to afford housing due to inflated real estate prices driven by black money and cheap loans. The other focuses on wealthy Gen Z individuals whose parents' passive income and comfortable lifestyles may reduce their motivation to work, leading to reluctance toward entry-level jobs and family businesses. Both views reflect concerns about economic pressures and generational attitudes toward work and financial independence.
