Generation F in the Netherlands is different
The first thing that stands out in the data on Dutch youth is that Dutch children are very happy: they are in the top 5 of the world of young people who are most satisfied with their lives ( the CBS report 'Annual report national youth monitor 2017' (pdf), the SCP report 'The social state of the Netherlands 2017' , the report 'PISA 2015 Results: students' well-being' , the report 'Youth and democracy' (pdf), commissioned by Vrij Nederland, and the WHO HBSC report 'Growing up unequal' (pdf)).
In the Netherlands, there is also no sudden wave of Generation F-ers with mental health issues. The percentage of young people who have contact with mental health care has not increased compared to millennials. In addition, it appears that relatively few Dutch young people say they regularly feel nervous. This is less in only two other countries worldwide. Dutch extreme internet users also say they are not much unhappier than moderate internet users.
Unlike their American counterparts, almost no Dutch youngsters report feeling isolated. They generally say they have easy contact with their parents, talk to their parents frequently after school, and feel supported by their parents when there are problems at school. Dutch Gen F-ers also feel included in the classroom. Of all youngsters in the world, they think their classmates are kind and helpful the most.

However, not everything is different in the Netherlands. Here too, fewer young people are involved in unhealthy activities such as smoking and drinking alcohol and they start later with sex, for example. Although Dutch young people are relatively unaffected by overweight, Generation F-ers are more likely than before to have eating- malaysia phone number list related problems and they relatively often feel too fat.
As in the United States, Dutch youth are very close to their parents and live at home longer. They do less volunteer work than generations before them and exercise less. They also work less, but that may also be the result of the aftermath of the economic crisis.
Dutch Generation F-ers feel less safe, just like American youth. And that while in reality they grow up in a safer environment than the generations before them. They are also less criminal themselves. At the same time, Dutch youth are more pessimistic about the Netherlands and indicate that they have become somewhat more right-wing.
Welcome Generation F
Although the current generation of young people has become more realistic compared to millennials, according to Twenge, this does not mean that the influx of Generation F-ers into the labor market will be easier. According to people like Sinek, millennials had unrealistic expectations in the workplace and showed no perseverance.
The current generation of young people seems to want to be protected from the outside world. However, the young people see the outside world as much more threatening than it actually is. The current generation of young people, who in Twenge's view do not feel that they can determine their own destiny, are in danger of needing just as much guidance as millennials need according to Sinek. Let us therefore welcome the young people of Generation F into our midst with open arms.
