Who is more affected by crisis: young people, adults or middle age?

I think all groups are affected. But in order of preference, I'd say adults are affected first, followed by young people. That's because adults are facing the job crisis and economy problem.

Hi neelian~ I sm sorry to say this, but I feel that the older people are the ones that are more affected by what is going on in the world right now! The younger people are more easily able to adapt and will have more changes to find their way out of this mess! But, the older you are the less chances you have to find a new job, find a different way of life or move to a new place! It is a very difficult decision for an older person to try to move and start all over again! I know what I am talking about! And it is really a scary situation to be in!

I would say extremly young people, and extremly old people. The two of which who would probably be incapable of supporting themselves in a disaster situation for the most part.

I guess adults will be the most affected by crisis.. For they will lose their jobs, or being retrenched.. Worse case will be for those in high positions, such as manager level, professional, executive or technicians.. As they need to be in a company for certain number of years, without gaining much exposure out there, thus it will be alot harder for them to find jobs again.. And it takes time for them to settle for a job which is lowly paid, and accept a totally different status from before.. hehe ^_^ BUt compared to middle age nad young ple, they are different as they can always be working part time, and they have no committments etc, thus it's alot easier for them ^_^

Hello twinkly eyes, yes its true that parents work hard for their family, but in my home, when times of scarcity, we explain to the children the situation and give them a little taste depression, i only mean a little, and to a big as no shopping and no eating at restaurants or fast foods for the time being. i believe teaching them at a younger age will soon make them good parents. Well to add, i have beeen working hard lately catching up for payments and debts and the lost savings, yes i just came from our farm for the last months, people took it funny that i had to do hardwork, but i am used to it, have been a worker,farmer, poultry boy once, OK what i wanted to say is really all of us have been affected by the depression but its a challenge to me, need to send kids to school, family breakfast lunch and dinner, As parents and adults we needed to work harder to overcome the crisis so that our kids wont suffer to much in the cost cutting and still be able to continue with normal life.

I don't want to be repetitive, but everyone is equally affected regardless of age or gender. If you're a living, breathing human being then you'll be affected guaranteed. The only exception I can think of are animals.

It depends on the person and the crisis, although it seems to me that maturity usually works patience. In that case, older adults would better weather the crisis.

Both adults and young adults are affected by crisis. When an adult losing their job than they can not pay bills a young adults if they are going to school and has to quit their education and try and fine a job which they are not guarantee they will.

everyone is affected no one could escape the crisis and the people need to know the solution on it than keep on hiding when one in the family suffered from crisis be it emotionally or mentally need to be treated finely to avoid getting frustrated.

both are affected but the impact is more visible to adults especially if he is the only one working within the family having many responsibility surely gives a lot of headaches. young people is also affected but slightly noticeable and their young mind still think innocent.

The adults adults are the one immediately fell the effects of the crisis. They're the front liners of the family and when the amount of money they bring home to their family is much lower than its used to be, then they're the one who will seek solutions to it. The younger ones will fell only the aftermath of the parents decisions on how to deal with the crisis. But if the crisis goes longer than expected, I think the most hampered by it are the younger generations as they will ultimately suffer in the end.

I think both age group are affected by economic crisis and other problems, but the adults are the most burdened because they are the ones responsible for supporting their family. They are also the ones worrying and looking for alternatives so bothe young and adults couls survive.

i think both are affected and n one could escape the problems. though, it is more evident with the adults as they are the one who do most of the work, while the mother is busy tending to their children and doing household chores.

I think all are affected from Crisis whether its young or middle age. If I am the senior member of a family and also only earning member. In case I lost my job, all in my family will be affected, childrens, old age peoples and ultimately me. I will not be able to afford medicines for elders, education for childerns in case of crisis.

TO all but in differnt was but I would think a student would stay in school for there arent jpbs out there to be taken away from the bread winners. also they study differnt things than what we did so they will go into high paid jobs I am thinking. Its a dtuggle to pay bills when ther is only one or 2 bringing in the money! its hard all around

I feel like this will depend on the person no matter what the age. Some people old or young can handles things better than others, but the younger group is generally the ones to handle it the best. Then the middle age people. The older people sometimes will give up. Have a great day.

I think that the younger ages really catch the worst end of the recessions if they continue as they have been. It's so hard to get a job already but if you're a teenager trying to get your first job your starting to get put towards the bottom of the list. Because there are adults that are losing jobs that were great and having to really lower the occupation and work in fast food or something. We are all affected by the recession though and I think that we should stop putting so much attention on money and possessions and start to cherish the relationships that we have with our friends and family.

both as they are all feel the pain and the hurt result by the crisis. when economy is down all are affected. their is resolution that is to help each other when their is no opportunity to create own sources of earning.

I think the young gang will have bit tough time. As they may not get that much high salary as a fresher. This is the only thing come in to my thought process, even I am also watchful towards the responses to this discussion, as it's such an interesting topic. Thanks for bring in it!!!!!!

If we're talking about the crisis, the most affected people are of course the business doer. Business doer almost mean adult people. When I told adult people the most affected, it is only to mention the direct implication of crisis, because actually crisis does affect all people in every hirarchy. The only problem is just the directness of the implication. But in most huge crisis, implication in all type of people almost done in immediate. Because huge crisis crush world economic system.
