Former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said young people feel “no one is listening to them,” linking recent youth riots in Paris, Milan and other European cities to frustration about their future. Speaking to Bloomberg, the former European Central Bank chief called it “a case of blocked expectations.” He said that for the young, social justice means fairness between generations, which is hard to maintain without economic growth. He said many feel they can’t easily find a job. He added that they see society changing fast through technology and “feel unequipped to deal with that.”

Thousands of students and teachers protested across Greece, demanding more education funding, better schools, higher pay, and affordable housing. Around 10,000 people marched in Athens.
