Younger generations being taught effort doesn’t matter

An interesting poll from Ipsos where they asked people if they thought “People’s chances of success in your country depend mostly on their own merit and efforts” or “People’s chances of success in your country depend mostly on factors beyond their control.

Overall 47% of NZers said merit and 25% said factors beyond control. That was 8th highest for merit out of 28 countries.

However as the education system teaches a generation that it is all about identity politics and victimhood, there is a huge difference by age. The gap between those who say merit and those who say factors beyond control by age group are:

• Baby boomers +36%
• Gen X +31%
• Millennials +11%
• Gen Z -3%

Teaching people that hard work is not linked to success is a great way to discourage hard work!
