I dont think you can equate quality of life being based on just your perspective.
I think the younger gens have it rough, esp genZ , less opportunity, higher cost of living, higher unemployment rate....its awful .
Minimum wage is a joke compared to cost of livng
Crime is awful .
If youre gen x, married and have your own home, you prolly cant imagine how expensive and difficult life is for the gens that follow....esp single people.

@OogieBoogie Minimum wage will never be any use so long as employees lack power and can effectively be forced into unequal contracts such as zero hours. In Norway there is no legally required minimum wage but we have collective bargaining that sets a tariff for most job categories. Any company paying less simply finds it hard to recruit. The result is that even a teenager stacking shelves in a supermarket at the weekend makes more per hour than the UK adult minimum wage by a considerable margin.
Zero hours contracts are also forbidden. They were effectively illegal anyway but a law from 2019 explicitly bans them: https://ogletree.com/international-employment-update/articles/june-2019/norway/2019-05-20/norway-new-legislation-prohibits-zero-hour-contracts/
Solidarity is the solution but how to get there is an unsolved problem. Destroying solidarity however seems to be efficiently practised, especially in the UK.
