Gen Z: "I'm not entitled to anything anyway" - even tomorrow's elite is worried about their future

Louisa Tröger, a 24-year-old student at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, is struggling to find a job despite her excellent education. She, like many young people, is feeling frustrated and uncertain about her future. A recent study found that one in five 14- to 29-year-olds in Germany is considering moving abroad, but Tröger doesn't see that as an option.
