Here is another thought, younger generation are being sold a bill of goods and the older generation is not delievering.
The bill is the time/cost of education and the end product is supposed to be "training for a career".
We have this younger generation who is not ready work (needs more training) and/or trained for something that no longers pays out (greater than the cost of education or jobs that no longer exists).
I've seen enough job postings that should just require basic skills, but ask the world (5+ years experience where it's only been out for 3 years). Also the cost of education is really crippling, that is pretty obvious.
It's hard to blame the kids for problem. the older generation created it by working longer than ever, creating the job postings requirements, and not training the next generation. But I see these boomerang kids are pretty clever, because they found the best place to live for less. Some will create their own jobs, or find meaningful work. Others will just fail. That's life, but in the past failing was way worst, now it's "going to your parents home".
When the younger generation has kids, they will create problems for the next generation, and deal with the consequences. Maybe the younger generation will better train the next, maybe they will lower hiring requirements, and maybe they will just be happier with less.
