These comments are from an early baby boomer, married twice, no children, but who was coding/computer programming in the early 70's, and never expected to stay in one company very long. Worked in the technology part of the print business, and 20 years into consulting.
Throughout my life most things improved, although in hindsight as humans we have learnt little, and huge numbers of people do not do well in the world we have developed. If the adults cannot handle it, then it is hardly surprising those still growing and maturing have massive issues.
From experience I suggest that each generation has less resilience. Both my parents were in the RAF, and as many in that generation necessarily resilient. Boomers are less resilient than their parents, and financially more secure, and so it rolls.
As a boomer I know I am hugely privileged, although my parents divorced early and there was no money, no car or home ownership.
I am so so glad there were no cell/mobile phones available when I was growing. Social media corporates and governments do not know how or wish to control what is happening, and AI is just beginning to amplify the challenge.
Informative, useful, but not surprising.
