Millennials vs Gen Z: Do young Chinese Australians still believe in the fair-go?

from Chinese-ish

War. Inflation. Loneliness. In the past three years, Millennial and Gen Z Chinese Australians have been caught in geopolitical and economic turmoil. Decades ago our Chinese migrant parents could still make their way following the script of hard work, higher education, and a safe career. But does this still work for young people today? In this episode, Wing Kuang and Dennis Fang speak to Thomas, who was born in 1989, and Angelina, who was born in 2001, on how they feel about embracing their Zodiac Year of Snake in 2025. Are Gen Z Chinese Australians having a tougher life than Millennial Chinese Australians? Can high academic achievements and landing in our parents’ dream jobs still be our path to a fair-go?
