In 16 fact-packed pages, this report rings the alarm on a growing demographic: young adults who have fallen off the road to economic independence. Readers will learn how this group compares to their self-sufficient counterparts, the lasting consequences of missing the adulthood mark, and specific strategies for helping these wayward individuals get their lives — and futures — back on track.
The research is clear: Children are living at home longer than they were 30 years ago. Young adults are also staying in school longer and delaying important life milestones such as marriage and parenthood. Even more, an increasing number of young adults are not participating in any of the activities — work, school or military service — that serve as common gateways to self-sufficiency and economic independence.
