Zygmunt Bauman en The Guardian:
"Every generation has its measure of outcasts. However, it doesn't
happen often that the plight of being outcast may stretch to embrace a
whole generation. Yet precisely that may be happening in Europe now.
"After
several decades of rising expectations, the present-day newcomers to
adult life confront expectations falling – and much too steeply and
abruptly for any hope of a gentle and safe descent. If there was bright
light at the end of the tunnels their predecessors passed through, there
is now a long, dark tunnel stretching behind every one of the few
flickering, fast fading lights trying in vain to pierce through the
gloom. With prospects of long-term unemployment and long stretches of
"rubbish jobs" well below their skills and expectations, this is the
first postwar generation facing the prospect of downward mobility.
