the young people who took part in the survey, which was commissioned by bbc newsbeat, said it wasn'twith almost four in ten of them describing themselves as hard working. generation z are also more optimistic about their future compared to other generations — with 25% saying they'll have a better life than those older than them. today, teenagers are often told they'll struggle for work and should give up on the hope of ever owning their own home, but a survey by ipsos mori which spoke to 1,000 16—to—22—year—olds and 2,000 from older generations suggests a quarter of generation z are optimistic about their future. i spoke to this group in birmingham. success, ithink, is measured in a different way for our generation. it is almost like if you are able to make a living or survive off let's go straight to the white house and that press conference from donald trump. i am greatly honoured to welcome president mariano rajoy of spain and it's a great honour to have you at the white house. thank you very much. we have just concluded a very productive conversation on a crucial range of economi

now on bbc news, it's time for the bbc newsbeat documentary we are generation z.n z? what do they stand for and are they misunderstood by other generations? we have a newsbeat special on bbc news this week allowing i6 to 22—year—olds to discuss how older people view them. some of the highlights of that coming up. but first, let's meet a few people from generation z. my generation are always on the internet, demanding an answer. are you a boy? are you a girl? i had qualifications but couldn't find a job. things are going badly. i think to be a young person in the uk at the moment is to be confused. you have more opportunities than you've ever seen before but you have no idea what to do with them and you have no direction in which you're going. you also are constantly told things are going badly, so you are aware there is a housing crisis, you are aware you're going to be in debt, you are aware of all of this stuff, and you have no idea how you are going to find success through that. the biggest issue i'm worried about facing young people is mental health. older gen
