Young generation robbed of its future

So that one section of the population can benefit from long-standing social entitlements, another — that is to say the young people who are our children — is deprived of all its rights.
It's by Portuguese about Portugal, but the relevance is universal

#1  By referring to employment and pensions as "rights" it appears as if the author still clings to the myth that Socialism is a system of perpetual progress. However, reality suggests that Socialism must be practicably managed through programs of dimminished expectations. Therefore, as the cyclical failures arise people must be conditioned to find a class of people to blame - not the system of Goverment. Here the author insinuates that a priviledged generation has stolen the rights of it's offspring. Ironically, these are the exact same rights the State promised the now oppressors. Funny how that works - ain't it?
