En la primavera de 2021, un estudio del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas de España reveló una paradoja profunda: el virus que amenazaba físicamente a los mayores era el que más devastaba psicológicamente a los jóvenes. Los adultos de entre 18 y 24 años no temían tanto a su propia muerte como a convertirse en el puente involuntario hacia la muerte de quienes amaban. En esa inversión del instinto de autopreservación —ese peso moral de proteger al otro— se alojaba una forma de sufrimiento que las estadísticas apenas podían contener.

Young adults face reduced economic participation due to mental health challenges, lower productivity, potential earnings loss, and increased healthcare expenditures. This cohort's purchasing power and labor market entry may be compromised, affecting consumption patterns and long-term earning potential.
Governments may need to expand mental health services funding, implement workplace mental health programs, adjust education policies to support student wellbeing, and potentially increase healthcare budgets. Labor market policies may require flexibility for mental health accommodations. Long-term social safety net costs could increase.
