The survey of 1,660 people - conducted by Streetbees, the global intelligence platform - finds that British 18 to 24-year-olds have significantly less confidence in the future than groups of the same age in six other countries - the US, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Nigeria and South Africa.

The survey of 1,660 people - conducted by Streetbees, the global intelligence platform - finds that British 18 to 24-year-olds have significantly less confidence in the future than groups of the same age in six other countries - the US, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Nigeria and South Africa.

The survey finds that only 25% of young British people believe their country is optimistic about the future, against 49% who feel it is pessimistic. In addition, 41% feel their generation is less optimistic than their parents' generation.

Tugce Bulut, CEO of Streetbees, said: "Our research, conducted through conversations with real people across the world via the Streetbees app, shows that young people in the UK are clearly very worried about what their futures hold, with money, relationships, and politics being particular concerns. In contrast, their contemporaries in developing nations like India and Nigeria believe they can achieve anything."
