Most young people have little or no hope they will ever be able to afford a home, a new poll suggests.
Seven out of 10 non-homeowners aged between 18 and 24 rated their prospects of buying a house or flat no better than "not very confident", according to research by the Local Government Association (LGA).
Of those who are more confident about their chances of escaping the rental "black hole", many are adamant they would need help from their parents.
Yet the two-thirds (64%) who said they would need financial support from family members to climb onto the property ladder may find money is difficult to come by.
Nearly four-in-10 (36%) parents saying they do not plan, or will not be able to, give their children a helping hand.
Cllr David Sparks, chairman of the LGA, said the figures lay bare the full extent of the "housing crisis" - one of a raft of topics up for discussion on Sky's Stand Up Be Counted site, a new platform for 16-25-year-olds to have their say on the issues that matter most to them.
Sky's Consumer Affairs Correspondent Poppy Trowbridge kicked off the debate, asking young people whether they think their parents had an easier time getting on the property ladder.
She also pointed to data from estate agents Your Move and Reeds Rains, which suggests the average first-time buyer deposit is now £26,642.
"What would you give up to get that?" she asks. "Does having a home that you own matter to you? Or these days, do you have different priorities?"
Young people can have their say on the housing market or any other issue affecting them by uploading a short video or blog post to Stand Up Be Counted.
Backed by politicians and celebrities alike, the website already contains dozens of clips and articles on topics ranging from e-voting, exam results and equality to mental health, the environment and the impact of social media.
