Children and young people have become significantly more concerned about rising prices than about the environment or crime, a study has revealed .
One in 10 children aged 10 to 17 are unhappy with their lives, according to a study by the Children's Society, the UK's national children's charity. Considering that the rising cost of living is a global problem, such concerns are likely to be present in children around the world, not just in the UK.
For example, more than 2 million children in the United Kingdom are more worried about rising prices than the environment, while almost 3 million do not feel optimistic about the future of the country or the future of the world, the study estimates.
Future financial security, however, is the issue that worries the younger generation the most: more than 80% said they are worried about the impact the rising cost of living will have on their family over the next 12 months.
The report also shows that girls are less happy than boys with everything in their lives except schoolwork.
The report highlights that the rising cost of living is having a dangerous impact on young people and aspirations for the future, and that authorities must take action for the welfare of children and young people.
