Millennial malaise: real or imagined?

In 2019, Bridie Jabour wrote a piece for the Guardian about the malaise of millennials. She found herself and her friends talking about the painful, protracted end of their adolescence.

They're looking at their lives and thinking: 'Is this it? Have I chosen the right place to live, the right job, the right partner? Am I, perhaps, not as special as I thought?'

The article went viral and Bridie decided the time had come to write a book about her generation - those much-maligned millennials. After all, this generation is coming of age in a unique set of social and economic circumstances, including precarious work, delayed baby-making, rising singledom, a heating planet, loss of religion, increased unstable housing and, now, a pandemic. Today’s Briefing is all about Millennial malaise.
