White youth losing faith in the American dream

Belief in the “American Dream” is dying in the United States, and this is happening most rapidly among white young people. This is evidenced by the results of a new sociological study organized jointly by the multimedia platform Fusion and The Washington Post newspaper. It repeated the same survey conducted in 1986 and was designed to identify changes in the attitudes of a new generation of Americans aged 18 to 35.

For three decades, the number of those who consider the national idea of ​​the United States to be dead has grown from 12 to 29 percent, with the maximum growth observed among the white population - from 10 to 29 percent.

Every third young man who has not attended higher education and every fifth who has a higher education agrees with them. And the higher the level of education, the less disappointed.

The number of ardent supporters of the national idea has been halved - 16 vs. 32 percent in 1986. The rest say that it has become harder to achieve their dreams.

But the specific “dream components” in the public consciousness of young Americans, as it turns out, are changing. In 1986, the top three items were “freedom to choose your own lifestyle” (80%), “owning your own home” (76%), and “educating your children in college” (73%). Now they have been replaced by “creating your own business” (68%), “teaching your children in college” (67%), and “owning your own college education” (65%).

Nevertheless, the key element of the “American dream” - the pursuit of wealth - among young people loses its significance. So consider 29% of youth, 30 years ago, their was 40%.

According to the authors of the study, such results are related to the consequences of the global financial crisis of the 2008 year, which makes it so difficult for the 20-year-old young man to find work in the United States today, as in the mid-eighties.
