Key Takeaways

  • The traditional promise of upward mobility through hard work is broken for many young people worldwide.
  • Economic inequality and rising living costs create systemic barriers to success and stability.
  • Generational disengagement from work is a rational response to unfair economic conditions, not mere laziness.
  • The phenomenon of minimal effort at work ('quiet quitting') is widespread and reflects deep dissatisfaction.
  • Addressing these issues requires systemic change rather than blaming individual work ethics.

What the video covers

  • Young people in China and globally are increasingly disengaged from traditional career and life goals due to economic pressures and lack of upward mobility.
  • The older generation's formula of study, work hard, and achieve stability no longer guarantees success for today's youth.
  • In China, cultural phenomena like 'tamping' (lying flat) and 'bailan' (letting it rot) reflect a rejection of overwork and futile struggle.
  • Economic inequality is stark, with billionaire wealth growing rapidly while many young people struggle to afford housing and basic needs.
  • Employee engagement is at a decade low, with many young workers practicing 'quiet quitting' or doing only the minimum required.
  • This trend is global, affecting countries including the US, China, South Korea, Europe, and post-Soviet states.
  • Managers also experience burnout, indicating systemic exhaustion across organizational levels.
  • Young people reject the old social contract promising rewards for hard work because the system no longer honors it.
  • Housing affordability crises and rising costs of living exacerbate the challenges faced by younger generations.

Speaker A
This is an ordinary guy from China. He's about 25 years old. He's lying in bed in a rented apartment or streaming short videos on his phone. He's not trying to build a career, become a boss, isn't saving for an apartment, has no plans to get married or have children. All
00:20
Speaker A
he wants is food, internet access, and to be left alone. And there are millions like him in China. His parents were once taught a simple, honest formula: study, get accepted, get settled, and be patient. Become useful to the system, and at the end of the day, an apartment,
00:38
Speaker A
stability, family, and respect await you. This formula worked because the economy was growing so quickly that effort actually translated into results. China, with its rapidly growing economy, is a great example, but for its generation of Zoomers, the formula has broken down. Competition has become fiercer,
00:55
Speaker A
housing is more expensive, jobs are fewer, and the pressure is greater. A culture has emerged in Asian countries that even has a 996 code. Working from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, six days a week. Reuters described this culture of overwork as so oppressive that authorities tried to restrict it
01:12
Speaker A
and the courts tried to declare it illegal. But it persists because competition is fierce and labor regulations are weakly enforced. So this guy looks at his work schedule and thinks, he's being asked to devote almost his entire life to the corporation, and in return, they promise no wealth,
01:25
Speaker A
no freedom, no future. In exchange, only fatigue, rent, something to eat, the feeling that you're still at the bottom. And then it dawns on him: I won't overwork myself anymore.
01:37
Speaker A
Incidentally, there's a term for this in China. It's called tamping—lying flat, working less overtime, buying less, not chasing status, not taking out a mortgage at any cost, not living to the expectations of others.
01:48
Speaker A
But in China, another term, bailan, is gaining popularity. Let it rot. The term comes from basketball.
01:54
Speaker A
When a match is already hopelessly lost, the team stops giving it their all. If Tanping means I just don't try, then Bailan means "why bother if it's going to fall apart anyway?" This isn't just the chronic fatigue of the younger generation. It's a loss of faith in the very idea of
02:11
Speaker A
a bright future. And the most recent wave already has its own name: rat people. Young Chinese who are completely burned out and have retreated into a mode of minimal energy. Lying around, scrolling, existing, expecting nothing. And the first thing you need to understand is that this is more than laziness. Laziness is
02:27
Speaker A
when you can, but you don't want to. And here, millions of people have looked at the rules of the game created by the older generation. They've done the math and concluded: there's no longer a fair connection between effort and result. Previously, society promised, "Work, and you'll get everything." A hard-working person will achieve everything.
02:46
Speaker A
Now, young people see, "Work, and all you'll get is fatigue." The boss takes all the credit.
02:51
Speaker A
In the spring of 2026, China's Ministry of State Security, its main intelligence agency, released a video declaring the threat to national security launched by hostile foreign forces to be a lie. One of the most powerful nations on the planet is terrified of
03:06
Speaker A
young people who simply do nothing. Foreign anti-Chinese forces are deliberately using the internet to fuel anxiety and sow pessimism, suggesting that efforts are futile. By whipping up negativity, they are attempting to turn personal difficulties into mass protests, undermining young people's faith in
03:25
Speaker A
success and the values of society. State authorities have established that a foreign organization is funding media outlets and centers, fabricating myths about the impossibility of success and social stagnation. It also sponsors bloggers promoting the ideology of sedentary living through videos declaring that struggle is futile.
03:47
Speaker A
But you don't think this is only true in Asian countries. Look around, look at us.
03:52
Speaker A
We not only have all this, it's even more severe here. Take the average young man in his 20s or 30s. Think about how he lives, what he does. In most cases, he lives with his parents. And not because he wants to, but because renting his own place, much less
04:06
Speaker A
buying one, is simply impossible with his salary. For transportation, he might be lucky, but maybe even have an old, used car that he's afraid to turn off at traffic lights. He has a job, but it's just enough to cover his food, internet and transportation costs, and barely make it
04:21
Speaker A
to the next paycheck. And then it all starts over again: month after month, year after year. But what about his own business?
04:27
Speaker A
A promising startup, career advancement, a family of your own. While you're still young, you need to do it now.
04:33
Speaker A
But in reality, the conditions we live in can hardly be called favorable. Young people are surviving.
04:39
Speaker A
Our Generation Z doesn't have a fancy name like Bailan. For us, it's just work and leave it at that, whatever happens, happens. I don't care anymore. But it's the same thing. The same refusal to live by the rules
04:48
Speaker A
we've been given. Why work at all? There are two figures that explain almost everything. Among people born in 1940, nine out of ten eventually earned more than their parents. That is, for them, work almost guaranteed upward mobility. But among those born in the 1980s,
05:05
Speaker A
only half were like that. If you're lucky, you'll live better than your parents. If you're unlucky, you'll stay at the same level or worse. This is the research of economist Rajacheti, published in the journal ScienceC. And now the second figure. As I speak these words,
05:20
Speaker A
the combined wealth of the world's billionaires is growing by approximately $80,000 every second. Hidden between these two numbers is the essence of what has happened to our generation.
05:48
Speaker A
First, a fact that's hard to argue with. Young people genuinely want to work less. Sociologists have been measuring employee engagement for years. Are people passionate about what they do, or are they just sitting around? By the end of 2024, it had plummeted to a 10-year low.
06:04
Speaker A
31% were engaged. 70% actively rejected work, and those under 30 were the most vocal in their requests. In America, this phenomenon is called "yting." Quietly leaving. Doing exactly what you're paid for. Not a minute, not an effort more. About half of US workers today live by this regime. In China, it's become
06:23
Speaker A
an entire philosophy. Let it rot. But in our countries, they haven't even come up with a name for it.
06:28
Speaker A
It's just work as you're paid for. And that's how it's done. Work just to cover basic needs. And that's what should be alarming above all else. This isn't happening in just one country. It's happening in the US, China,
06:38
Speaker A
South Korea, Europe, the post-Soviet space, all at once, in different languages, across different cultures.
06:45
Speaker A
And when the same thing happens everywhere at once, it's not because of people's personalities, but because of the system an entire generation has found itself in. It's not just subordinates who don't want to work. According to the same GLP, managers are also burned out. More than half of managers admit to being exhausted,
07:00
Speaker A
and their engagement is also at a historic low. The system is exhausting everyone: those at the bottom and those in the middle. This isn't just a generational whim. It's a symptom of the entire structure. And here's what research shows when the youngest people are asked directly. They don't reject work per se.
07:16
Speaker A
They reject a specific idea, an old contract they were offered, but which, as they've already realized, the other side no longer honors. To understand why an entire generation has stopped running, you need to look at the finish line and notice that someone has moved it.
07:48
Speaker A
Initially, there was an unspoken agreement. Our parents repeated it to us: "Study, work, and be patient, and you'll live better than us." And this logic made sense. If you got a better education, worked more, produced more, then, in theory, you should have more opportunities,
08:05
Speaker A
more income, and more
08:16
Speaker A
Remember, 90% for the generation of 1940, 50% for the generation of 1980. In one generation, almost guaranteed success turned into a jackpot. And it wasn't even the lower class that suffered the most, but the middle class—the very families that believed in the rules the most. But what's the reason?
08:33
Speaker A
Most people think so. Well, probably the economy simply stopped growing, the pie got smaller.
08:38
Speaker A
There's not enough for everyone. That's not true. The pie never stopped growing. The economy has become bigger, richer, more technologically advanced than ever before in history. The authors of the study themselves say it bluntly: "It's not that there wasn't enough growth. It's how that growth was divided. If the distribution had been a little more equal,
08:55
Speaker A
the promise would still be fulfilled today. Think about it. The wealth exists so that your generation can live better than their parents. It's simply been redirected upward. And the most obvious example of this redirection is a roof over your head. This is what adult life begins with all over the world, and
09:10
Speaker A
Something that has become an unattainable dream for the Zoom generation. In the mid-1980s, the average US home cost about three times a family's annual income; today, it's around five. While economists consider two to three times a healthy level, housing has literally detached itself from wages and skyrocketed.
09:26
Speaker A
In our big cities, this gap is even more dire. There, you can save for decades and still not keep up with rising prices. People used to buy their first home around age 25. Today, according to the National Association of Realtors, at 40, an entire decade of life is spent simply
09:43
Speaker A
saving for a ticket to adulthood. The homeownership rate among people under 35 has fallen from 45% in the 1980s to 3% today. Building a family begins with owning a home. "Well, let them work more," the older generation will say. But here's the catch. People
10:00
Speaker A
are already working more and producing more. Labor productivity has increased exponentially. But wages haven't followed suit. Here's how it looks in numbers. The federal minimum wage in the US today is still $7.25 per hour, unchanged since 2009.
10:18
Speaker A
And if it were rising in line with labor productivity, then, according to various estimates, it would no longer be $7, but somewhere around $20-plus per hour. In other words, people have begun to produce more, the economy has become richer, but the minimum wage hasn't kept pace. People are producing
10:34
Speaker A
more, and getting paid the same as 15 years ago. This is the picture that Generation Z understood before anyone else. The work contract, and that's it, no longer applies. The ladder our parents climbed has been dismantled halfway. And then one question remains: if the wealth hasn't gone anywhere, then where is it?
11:16
Speaker A
In January 26, Oxford released a new report on major inequalities. And the numbers in it are so hard to wrap your head around. The combined wealth of the world's billionaires has reached a record $18.3 trillion. That's more than 60% growth in just one year, and +81% since 2020. Over five years
11:37
Speaker A
of pandemics, inflation, and crises, when millions of people were barely making ends meet, billionaire wealth has grown by 81%. Not 8, but 81. It gets even more interesting. The 12 richest people on the planet own more wealth than the poorest half of humanity, about 4 billion people. And the richest
11:58
Speaker A
1% owns more wealth than 95% of the world's population combined. 12 people versus 4 billion, 1% versus 95. This isn't a metaphor for inequality; it's its literal scale. Of all the new wealth created in the world since 1980, more than 90% has ended up in private hands. To understand how this happened,
12:20
Speaker A
let's look at one simple thing: the gap between a boss's salary and an employee's. The boss gets paid incomparably more for a job that may seem easier from the outside. And this isn't envy, it's statistics. According to the Institute for Economic Policy, in 1965, the head of a large
12:36
Speaker A
US company earned approximately 20 times more than the average worker; today, it's almost 300 times more. Since the late 1970s, top manager pay has increased by more than 1,000%. The average worker's salary over the same period is just the calculated percentage. And here's the twist. Economists who studied these figures conclude that
12:54
Speaker A
this rise in pay at the very top isn't explained by these people becoming 300 times more talented or productive. It's explained by power. Power rewards itself by the ability to take a larger share simply because you're in control. Until about 1970,
13:10
Speaker A
it was the workers' incomes that grew the fastest. Then, everything flipped. Since then, the incomes of those at the top have skyrocketed exponentially , while wages at the bottom have stagnated. Somewhere around half a century ago, the deal
13:21
Speaker A
started to break down. And that's what it all boils down to. The very rules of the game have changed. Previously, people got rich by working; now they get rich by owning. They own stocks, factories, apartments, land. In other
13:33
Speaker A
words, money makes money while you sleep. Now imagine entering this game from scratch, without an apartment, without stocks, without an inheritance. Just a pair of hands and the desire to work. You can work your whole life and still never catch up with someone whose property is appreciating faster
13:49
Speaker A
than you can earn. That's what Zoomer truly understood. In a world where property, not work, wins, he doesn't have a single trump card. He came to the table, After which everything had long since been given away. But who exactly gave it away? Who sits at this table? And how exactly
14:05
Speaker A
did they close the door on an entire generation? These are specific people and specific funds.
14:30
Speaker A
Let's start with housing, because that's where we can best see how it works. Let's go back to 2008, the global financial crisis. Millions of American families can no longer pay their mortgages and lose their homes. They are literally thrown out onto the street. It's a national
14:45
Speaker A
catastrophe. But what happens next? While families are losing their roofs over their heads, a new buyer, Wall Street, has already come for these same houses . Large investment funds began buying up the foreclosed homes en masse for next to nothing, often directly at auctions organized by the government itself. Moreover,
15:02
Speaker A
to stimulate these purchases, the US government provided one of these funds, Blackstone, with a government guarantee for a billion-dollar loan. Consider this logic. The crisis was throwing people out of their homes, and the government was helping the funds find these houses. So,
15:18
Speaker A
around 2012, an entire business model was born: buying houses and renting them back, including to the very people who were evicted. The Blackstone fund, through its special-purpose vehicle, became one of the largest landlords of private housing in the world. Today, it is a publicly traded company worth
15:36
Speaker A
tens of billions of dollars. Of course, funds can't buy up all the housing in the country.
15:40
Speaker A
It's impossible. But that's not the problem. They don't try to buy everything. They target specific areas where the average young family could still buy their first affordable home. And that's where the funds begin to compete with ordinary buyers. The only difference is that the family has a limited budget,
15:56
Speaker A
a mortgage, and a fear of overpaying, while the fund has billions of dollars and the ability to buy dozens or hundreds of homes at once. As a result, even if the share of such investors appears small nationwide, in
16:07
Speaker A
specific areas they create enormous pressure. They outbid ordinary people and raise the price of entry into areas where the younger generation could still become homeowners. Now about the scale of those behind this money. In New York, there is a company called Blackstone. Today,
16:23
Speaker A
BlackRock manages assets worth approximately $14 trillion. To give you an idea of ​​what that number is, it's larger than the entire economies of Germany and Japan combined. More than any country on Earth except the US and China. One company. BlackRock doesn't personally own every apartment in the US,
16:40
Speaker A
but through its funds, it holds a stake in almost every major public company on the planet. And the people who run it speak to presidents and ministers as equals. And there are several such giants.
16:51
Speaker A
Three or four funds effectively sit at the pinnacle of the entire global financial system. Now let's put these two things together. Wealth is concentrated at the top. And this wealth is managed by a mountainous structure larger than most countries. This is the very same small group that has divided
17:06
Speaker A
control over the world's resources among itself. But money is only half the battle. The most dangerous thing begins when money buys power, because those who write the rules never lose . And here's what they show. The same Uxwon report from 2026. A billionaire
17:22
Speaker A
runs or is the majority owner of more than a third of the world's fifty largest corporations. Billionaires are 4,000 times more likely to enter politics and rise to power than the average person. And wealth taxes in the G20 countries yield less than 8 cents
17:37
Speaker A
of every dollar collected. 8 cents. The rest is paid in salaries by ordinary citizens. Add to that lobbying. Every year, corporations spend billions of dollars to ensure the laws that govern your life are written in their interests. And when those who own assets also write the rules about
17:54
Speaker A
assets, the door isn't just closed, it's locked from the inside. Just how far things have gone can be seen from one detail. The government has finally noticed. In early 2026, the US signed a special decree to stop the purchase of ordinary homes from ordinary
18:10
Speaker A
buyers. The Senate began advancing legislation that would prohibit large funds that own hundreds of homes from buying starter homes. But the problem hasn't been fundamentally addressed. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. It makes sense to talk about our countries. In addition to all these problems I've discussed,
18:27
Speaker A
Added to this are corruption and cronyism. We didn't have decades of quiet accumulation. In the 1990s, a small circle of people simply privatized factories, mineral resources, and real estate of entire countries. Social elevators didn't slowly close. They were bought out and concreted over. And now, to get ahead,
18:44
Speaker A
it's often not your skills that matter, but whose son you are and who your connections are. It's the same principle as in the West, only without the democratic packaging. And here's what this closed door looks like in a single
18:55
Speaker A
number. In the US, everyone 45 and under—that is, the entire Zoom generation and millennials— together control about 11% of the country's total wealth, while boomers alone hold about 51%, around $90 trillion. Young people, who represent about the same percentage of the population, own about
19:13
Speaker A
1/3 of what boomers own. And the saddest thing about this whole story is this. Almost none of this is illegal. There's no cigar-wielding villain twirling his mustache and laughing at a world map. All of this is done openly through foundations, through lobbying, through laws they
19:29
Speaker A
write for themselves, through a crisis that has become their opportunity to take everything they have. And this, frankly, is worse than any conspiracy. A conspiracy can be uncovered and exposed. This one, however, can only be observed. So what's an ordinary young person with a small salary to do
19:44
Speaker A
against foundations larger than entire countries and against rules written by those standing on the other side of the door? Generation Zoomers have found an answer, and this answer has proven stronger than any revolution.
20:12
Speaker A
Let's return to the lazy Zoomers and look at them not through the eyes of an offended boss, but through the eyes of cold economic theory. If labor is paid less than what it creates, a rational worker does exactly one thing: reduce their efforts to match the pay. They don't get paid more,
20:27
Speaker A
they don't do more. In other words, quietly leaving isn't a character issue; it's a market signal.
20:32
Speaker A
The generation accused of virtual laziness behaves like perfectly rational economic agents. For years, the system has been telling them: "Count your profits, don't operate at a loss, optimize." They listened and applied this idea to the system itself. The lazy generation does exactly
20:49
Speaker A
what it was taught. But there's something more serious than simply leaving work at 6:00 PM. A protest that is changing the course of history. Zoomers are stopping having children. Here are the numbers. To simply replace the population, an average of 2.1 children are needed per woman. In the US today, this is about 1
21:07
Speaker A
child, and in South Korea, about 0.75, less than one child per woman. According to forecasts, the country's population could halve by the end of the century. Young egotists who have chosen career and entertainment over family, unconventional values, and the propaganda of immorality are destroying the country's demographic potential
21:26
Speaker A
, we are told. The largest study by the United Nations Population Fund, published in 2025, puts it bluntly: "It's not a crisis of unwillingness to have children, it's a crisis of the very possibility of having them." People want children—most do—but about 40%
21:42
Speaker A
cite economic barriers as the main reason: the cost of raising a child, unstable employment, and unaffordable housing. Remember the beginning of this video. If our parents used to have children at 22-25 because they had a home, a stable job, and a sense of security, today a young
21:59
Speaker A
person of the same age lives with their parents and counts their money until payday. Having a child without a home, security, or even a solid foundation is a luxury few can afford. This is the most powerful strike in history. The entire system—pensions, economic growth,
22:17
Speaker A
the value of shares in apartments, consumption itself—is structured like a pyramid. Each layer rests on the larger layer below it. So that the elders have someone to sell their assets to, someone to pay their pensions to, someone to produce goods for, a new, large generation
22:33
Speaker A
of workers and buyers must always be growing up from below. And this generation, simply by not having children, is doing what no trade union in history has ever achieved. It is removing the very labor force from the future forever. And
22:45
Speaker A
now the very forces that have been siphoning wealth to the top for decades are clutching their heads in panic.
22:50
Speaker A
Why is the birth rate falling worldwide? Why don't young people want to work? But look at it honestly. They want three things simultaneously: more children, more future workers, and cheaper labor.
23:01
Speaker A
For profits to grow, and for assets to be expensive, for their wealth to grow. But these three desires contradict each other. You can't make housing affordable, labor cheap, the future bleak, and then demand that children be born into that future. Essentially, they're asking the generation
23:17
Speaker A
that didn't have everything taken from them to give birth to the next generation, so that they can take the future from them too.
23:39
Speaker A
Every generation complains that its future was stolen. Older generations paid mortgages at 50-80% per annum in their youth. They were drafted into war, living with unemployment and inflation that today's youth couldn't even dream of. Generation Z has something no one before them had: the internet,
23:55
Speaker A
healthcare, a life expectancy their grandfathers could only dream of. Maybe it's not all that bad.
24:01
Speaker A
Each generation has its own challenges and difficulties. Maybe, but here's the difference. The thesis is old, but the data is new. Previous generations, despite all their difficulties, saw inequality decline and mobility increase. The wind was at their backs. For Generation Z, it's the opposite. Inequality is growing, mobility is declining.
24:20
Speaker A
And most importantly, this gap is sealed by new rules of the game, where property, not labor, wins.
24:27
Speaker A
Incomes across generations are similar, but the cost of housing, education, and healthcare has detached from wages and skyrocketed. It's not that it's hard for the young; it's hard for everyone. The point is where this is all heading. And then we go beyond the numbers to a question that concerns everyone watching this
24:44
Speaker A
video. Imagine a game, rules that are designed so that anyone who sits down at the table later can no longer win. All the resources have been distributed, all the moves have been made for you. What's the most reasonable thing to do?
24:56
Speaker A
Not to play. A society in which it's rational not to participate is not a society of lazy people. It's a society that has failed its own test. Because the main fuel of any civilization is neither oil nor money. It's hope. Hope is not a feeling. It is what makes people
25:13
Speaker A
get up in the morning and build. Remove it, and the entire edifice begins to quietly crumble. No riots, no gunshots. Simply no one goes to the construction site anymore. In the spring of '26, the Chinese Ministry of State Security released a propaganda video and declared the laying of the dead
25:29
Speaker A
a threat to national security. Supposedly, it was sabotage by a hostile foreign state. That is, not an economic problem, not a labor market issue, but a threat to national security. Why is the state afraid of this? Because it understands what a laying dead person feels, but cannot
25:44
Speaker A
articulate it. The entire system—the economy, growth, pensions, the state itself—rests on one thing: the voluntary consent of the younger generation to participate. You can order a person to come to work, but you cannot order them to believe that this work is meaningful. Consent is the only
26:04
Speaker A
resource that cannot be taken away by force. And when it is gone, neither the army nor the intelligence services can help. And the data shows the same thing all over the world. The chance of overtaking your parents has fallen from 90% to 50%. Generation
26:19
Speaker A
Z and millennials together own 11% of the wealth, while a single boomer owns 51%. It's not those who work who get rich, but those who own it. Income has become disconnected from wages. This isn't a whim of the younger generation;
26:32
Speaker A
it's a fact. We started with the question of why Generation Z doesn't want to work. But now you understand, that's the wrong question. The right one is different. Why should they work so hard? Why devote their entire lives to work in a world where a person can toil for decades and still not catch up with someone
26:49
Speaker A
who simply inherited an apartment, stocks, or business? In a world where the door to home ownership has closed in their faces, where the younger generation is being asked to build a life in a world in which the most important jobs are already taken before they were born. Zoomers are the first generation in history
27:05
Speaker A
that en masse expects to be poorer than their parents. But these parents will leave behind the largest wealth transfer in human history. Tens of trillions of dollars. According to various estimates, more than 80 trillion in just one country over the next two decades. Do you understand
27:21
Speaker A
what this means? The same youth who were locked outside will inherit it. But only those with rich parents. This means the future is not just unequal, it is becoming hereditary.
27:32
Speaker A
We are quietly rebuilding what the modern world thought it had always abolished. Aristocracy. A world where your place is determined at birth not by what you do, but by what you do.
27:42
Speaker A
Your family owns it. And then let it rot, it will cease to be a sign of weakness. This is a rational response to the return of the old world of hereditary privilege, where effort is untied from fate.
27:54
Speaker A
Zoomers are not averse to clambering upward. They were the first to notice that the ladder is now a decoration.
27:59
Speaker A
You can climb it, but it no longer leads anywhere. You can't force a person to walk a future that was taken from them. You can buy factories, real estate, laws, and media. You can't buy just one. The readiness of the next generation to inherit your world and continue it. Therefore, the question
28:15
Speaker A
worth concluding with is: what kind of future did the adult generation leave behind? If work no longer leads to the top, housing becomes a privilege, and fate increasingly depends on inheritance, this is no longer progress. Progress is when children live better than their parents. And if the new generation receives fewer
28:32
Speaker A
opportunities, less property, and less faith in the future, this is not development, it is a setback.
