>They are shrinking from responsibilities such as marriage, homeowning and child-rearing because “adulting is hard”, as one of his students put it. Western culture, Mr Hayward wrote, indulges childish fancies. Shrinking as in they are already homeowners and married with children, but not rising to the responsibility of it? Or shrinking as in not becoming a home owner, or getting married, or having children. If its the latter, could there possibly be some other explanation? >there has been a generational shift and that young people are less mature than their forebears were at the same age. Less employed, too.
