GHD Reveals Generational Differences on Optimism for Our 30-Year Future
Look ahead 30 years into the future: "Do you think that the decisions being made by the current generation of leaders will leave your community in a better or worse state than it is today?"
GHD asked this question to 1,000 people in each of the following countries: Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and the United States.
The survey revealed that Gen Z is generally more optimistic, especially in the Philippines, Singapore, the UAE, and Qatar, where optimism about the future is significantly higher.
Optimists outnumber pessimists significantly for all age groups in the Philippines, Singapore, the UAE, Qatar, and Chile.
Conversely, older generations—particularly Gen X and Baby Boomers—are net pessimistic in Anglosphere countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US.
The report highlights that "the pessimism observed in Anglosphere countries underscores the need for targeted interventions to rebuild trust and confidence in policy, leadership, and community."
