The 10 most important problems in the world after millenials

in #news7 years ago

Despite the sad state of the world today and the prejudice that the millenial generation is selfish and apathetic, the 18-35 generation is very concerned about the problems in the world and is determined to treat them .

Thus, 70% of the millenials consider that they have many opportunities that hold out their arms. And 50% consider that they can significantly contribute to the decisions made in their country.

These observations come from the Global Shapers annual survey conducted by the World Economic Forum (WEF), which surveyed more than 26,000 millenials from 181 countries to assess their priorities, concerns and attitudes around the world.

Part of the study asked respondents to cite the three most serious problems facing the world today.

For the second consecutive year, millenials are most concerned about climate change, followed by large-scale wars and religious conflicts.

Surveyed on who should be responsible for solving these problems, the millenials respond that this responsibility rests with the international organizations and themselves.

These are the 10 most worrying problems in the world, in the eyes of the 18-35 generation.
