Financial stress surges among Gen Z as economic pressures intensify in 2025
Financial insecurity among Gen Z has surged in 2025, driven by job instability, rising costs, and delayed life milestones, marking a sharp shift in generational economic outlook.
A sharp rise in financial insecurity is emerging among Generation Z in 2025, surprising economists and labor market analysts. According to recent survey data, 48 percent of Gen Z respondents report feeling financially insecure, a steep jump from 30 percent just a year earlier. The strain is closely tied to job instability, with nearly three-quarters of Gen Z workers employed in hourly or non salaried roles that offer limited benefits and weaker income protection.
