I have written elsewhere of the changes in society that have left so many of Taiwan’s young males in unproductive, precarious jobs (“Taiwan’s young men adrift,” Oct. 2, last year). In Europe, according to a May report from Politico, many young men are trending towards the right. In Netherlands and Portugal right-wing parties ran on platforms featuring anti-immigration and housing issues, and drew support from young males. This will be followed by a marked rightward shift among young males that will make them vulnerable to populist politicians. Housing, housing, housing needs to be the Lai administration mantra.
