After asking young people across Europe about their\u00a0living situation<\/a>, we then explored what\u00a0dreams<\/a>\u00a0they had about what they wanted to\u00a0achieve<\/a>\u00a0in the future. But, we also wanted to understand why those dreams were important for them to achieve.<\/p>\n

Almost a third want\u00a0stability<\/strong>. This motivates them to get a better job because it will enable them \u201cto afford all the needs I have such as my own flat or house and will give me the feeling of security and stabilization\u201d.\u00a0Stability is important to have a feeling to build something<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 their network or projects they want to develop, or giving their children \u201cthe chances I feel I didn\u2019t have\u201d. The need for stability grows over time.<\/p>\n

One in six want to be more\u00a0self-sustaining and autonomous<\/strong>, so they that they don\u2019t depend on others controlling them, like their employer on how to work or their spouse on when to have children. They also don\u2019t want to rely on others providing for them, like money or a spare room from their parents.<\/p>\n

It explains why many would prefer to have a place they can call their own. They want this as it \u201cwill grant me the right to speak my mind more often and act as such\u201d and \u201cbecause I have to know, show and prove what I have worked for\u201d. It\u2019s also so they can make a living in a way that helps them\u00a0\u201cfeel free to do other things\u201d and not \u201cbe left behind in a globalised world\u201d.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

One in five young people want to\u00a0make their dreams happen and achieve their goals<\/strong>. They want to develop different objectives than those set by society because they don\u2019t want to give up on their dreams. These are \u201cthe things that I have wanted from a child and have been working towards\u2026I want to make the most of my time on earth\u201d. To do so, they \u201cwant to be able to afford it and to have enough time to do it even while working\u201d, whether it\u2019s to get an attorney certificate, have kids or travel around the world. Only 2% want to\u00a0achieve higher status<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Just under one in six had particular expectations because they wanted to gain a\u00a0sense of fulfilment and progression<\/strong>, mainly to build on the time and effort they\u2019ve invested in developing their skills and career.<\/p>\n

They want to see \u201cfairly visible landmarks of your own productivity and development\u201d to get a\u00a0\u201cfeeling I have developed all of my talents\u201d<\/strong>. They know it\u2019s important to have their own job and house, but \u201cit\u2019s also important to achieve the next steps of self-realisation and professional development\u201d. They want to push themselves to keep growing to \u201cmeet a lot of challenges before the age of 40\u201d.<\/p>\n

One in five want to\u00a0make a purposeful and meaningful life<\/strong>. This is motivated by wanting to\u00a0\u201cstay fit and beautiful\u2026in mind, body and soul\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and \u201cto be able to die happily leaving a positive legacy\u201d. Beyond their career, what motivated them to make a purposeful and meaningful life is to\u00a0\u201clove\u2026because it is a verb and not just a feeling\u201d<\/strong>and to seek sense. Indeed, for them family and friends are \u201csense-making institutions\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappiness is the basis of everything. Staying happy is my main goal in life and work. Money can’t buy happiness. I can’t say it doesn’t matter at all, because money makes things that make me happy possible, like travelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

About one in 20 want to be\u00a0constantly challenged to use their skills to improve and develop<\/strong>. They would\u00a0\u201crather have a satisfying and challenging job than a boring job with a large paycheck\u201d.<\/strong>\u00a0That might be even more important \u201cin case I do not manage to find a job which fulfils and enriches me\u201d. Which is why many people we\u2019ve interviewed had switched careers in some cases, moving from very different fields, i.e. from medicine to journalism, but also because \u201cit is important to be readier for the unexpected and keep curious about what surrounds us\u201d.<\/p>\n

Just over one in five want to\u00a0open their mind and better understand others<\/strong>. This is often triggered by people they meet and their desire to discover other cultures, \u201cbecause it is fun and enriches your life in many ways (more than money), but also because the ability to understand other humans increases\u201d.<\/p>\n

In many cases, this is why people felt travelling and living abroad was important to\u201cdiscover new people, new countries, live new experiences and learn new languages & skills.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>They think that \u201clife should, ultimately, be about new experiences and expanding your mind and worldviews – rather than reproduction (social or biological)\u201d, in particular when they\u2019re young as they don\u2019t imagine themselves \u201ctravelling with a group of other retired people when I\u2019m old. I\u2019d rather stay at home growing my garden and helping\u201d.<\/p>\n

Around one in six are motivated because they want to\u00a0make social change or help others<\/strong>. They want this because they\u00a0feel a sense of mission to change the world<\/strong>\u201cotherwise we\u2019ll face more and more troubles \u2013 poverty, sickness, nuclear catastrophe, end of cheap oil, sterile soils, dying in oceans, more slavery, civil war and pollution\u201d.<\/p>\n

In some cases,\u00a0these problems are much closer to home<\/strong>\u00a0like helping their \u201cfamily because they are in a difficult situation\u201d or even their own projects where they \u201cwant the values of the organisation to grow even beyond my own involvement\u201d or \u201cwant to provoke social change by making documentary films\u201d or because they want to share their passion with their child or shape the future of their city.<\/p>\n
