Whereas in 2014, one in three still expected the economy to grow, this figure has now fallen to one in four.<\/p>\n<p>For Professor Dr Ulrich Reinhardt, the Foundation's Scientific Director, the reasons for this are complex: <em>\"Rising energy costs are not only putting a strain on household budgets, but are also increasing the pressure on companies. Added to this is a shortage of skilled labour that affects almost every industry. Unresolved trade conflicts and the increasing focus of many countries on national issues are also putting pressure on the export-orientated German economy.

class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\" style=\"--awb-margin-right:4%;\"><p>Many politicians are accused of lacking competence and transparency and are said to lack effective solutions to pressing problems. Another important factor is the increasing polarisation in the political debate, which is eroding trust in the political system. The conviction that political decision-makers serve party political interests rather than the common good increases the alienation of many citizens from politics. Reinhardt: \"<em>The persistent scepticism towards the political class is a key challenge for the future that must be overcome in order to restore citizens' trust in political institutions and find common solutions to the existing challenges. If this does not happen, there is a risk of further radicalisation, which will ultimately endanger democracy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:50px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:35;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\">More cohesion expected in Europe than in Germany<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\" style=\"--awb-margin-right:4%;\"><p>Currently, 29 per cent of citizens expect Europe to move closer together, the same proportion as a decade ago. In contrast, more than three quarters of the population believe that Germany will drift further apart, which is significantly more than ten years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Between the different age groups, the positive expectation of closer co-operation is roughly twice as high among the younger generation as among the over 55s. The generally more confident attitude of the under-34s shows that some of them have a very different view of social development in Germany and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>For Reinhardt, this goes hand in hand with questions about the values, priorities and expectations of the various age groups, as the answers clearly show how multi-layered society's perspective on the coming years is. <em>\"It remains to be seen how these different views will affect political decisions in the coming years, and thus the shaping of the future.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"
