Same Dreams, Different Reality: Inside the 2026 Youth Barometer

What this episode covers

South Africa’s youth still want financial independence, homeownership, stability and long‑term security — but the path is tougher. Standard Bank’s Tshiamo Molanda breaks down the latest Youth Barometer findings, showing how young people are adapting rather than lowering their ambitions. From strategic credit use and rising first‑time homeownership to digital‑first payments, side hustles and value‑driven car buying, this episode explores how Gen Z is navigating adulthood in a changing economy.
