A lot of young adults are graduating and finding zero hope of getting a full time job with benefits. Also they have large amounts of non-dischargeable student loans. In addition if they have any health problems they are no longer on parent's insurance and suffering disproportionately. I'm not surprised to see issues with drug use and suicide bringing down life expectancies. I also don't expect the trend to get much better in the next few years.
- beenBoutIT 7y agoThe student loans and collections effectively give up when a borrower moves to Europe or leaves the country.
- rayiner 7y agoThe median student loan payment is $220 per month, for the minority of young people who even have student loans. (Only a third of millennials have any student loans, and the median amount is less than $25,000.) People are killing them selves over a car payments worth of debt? Or are you trying to shoe horn these mortality statistics into a pre-constructed narrative?
