EU "safety-net" produces despair------U.S. and European Millennials differ on their views of fate, future

U.S. and European Millennials differ on their views of fate, future | Pew Research Center:
"With up to half of young adults unemployed in some European countries, it’s little wonder that many European Millennials despair about the future.

But a deeper malaise afflicts many younger Europeans.
They lack a sense of agency:
A majority don’t feel that they can impact the world around them or their future, a stark contrast with their American counterparts.
Roughly half or more of Millennials in six of the seven European Union nations surveyed by the Pew Research Center last year believe that “success in life is pretty much determined by forces outside our control.”
This includes 63% of young Germans and Italians and 62% of young Greeks and Poles.
 (Brits were the exception, with only 37% of those ages 18 to 33 agreeing with that statement.)
By contrast, slightly more than four-in-ten young Americans (43%) share this view."
