Why youth are depressed ?? 🙏😢
One example I can give from my hobbies. Wildlife photography
Before 2021 -
* full day safari hire was 10k
* fuel cost for yala and back 6k for a car
* decent camera setup costing about 250-350k
We have seen many youngsters getting into this hobby because a decent job will let them afford the hobby
Now -
* Full day safari hire is 25k
* fuel cost for yala and back 20k+
* Decent camera setup costs 750k+ ( before vat hike )
So now this hobby is not affordable for many. Even the people who had camera gear before price hike have reduced the frequency of trips significantly
Basically we had the luxury of spending for entertainment when we started earning within couple of years where as youth now are struggling to keep up with the bills even after 5 years of working
