A few more similar related ideas connected to the disaffected youth issues:
1:The majority of troops that are fighting for the west in the Iraq, Afghanistan wars will be from the Pluto in Scorpio generation(16 to 27 years old).They are fighting to sustain something that isn't really their problem.That might even be seen as helping the baby boomer's generation hold onto something that has outgrown its time,IE: the hold of the west over the middle east.
A bleak career in a country that has very few jobs for them.(approximately 25% of this age group are unemployed):

2:Up till recently the real figures of unemployed were masked by the high proportion of youths who went onto university and higher education,But since the recession the government has made it very expensive to go onto higher education so the unemployment figures rise as also due to the recession there are very few jobs.
3:The baby boomer generation and the generation after them,during the good times bought into property as a security/pension measure for old age,This was also seen as the best way to make money in a country that was running on the last vestiges of gas in the tank,Meanwhile successive governments have not encouraged new house building and many of the baby boomer generation have bought extra properties to rent out so this has reduced available buyable housing stock and sent rents very high as the landlords are holding all the cards.
4:Meanwhile the unemployed youth and those in low payed jobs are helping to line the pockets of the baby boomers ,but at the same time the maximum payable rents to tenants who are unemployed from councils are being continually reduced due to austerity cuts imposed by government(Mainly baby boomers in government).
5: most public services are being reduced or removed due to the recession cuts therefore the working youth get less back for their contribution to society through taxes to the system.
6:Meanwhile the baby boomer generation gets older and older whilst the smaller proportionately work force of the Pluto Scorpio generation has to look after them in their old age through taxes they cannot afford to pay,And the older generation holds all the assets as well(ie property) to also pay for a cosy old age whilst the younger generation cant expect to have this support when it gets old.Many of the Pluto Scorpio generation came from the proliferation of broken families of the baby boomers who could not discipline their children consequently quite often there was no father around.which leads to a lack of respect for the older generation, authority and government
7:On top of all this we have a world that is dying due to the excesses of the older generations greed leading to global warming,What an inheritance
These are some of the major reasons we have a youth that will take what they can now because they don't think there is any future for them in my opinion.
