America's young adults are far behind older generations in reaching major life milestones, including marriage and family, according to a new survey.
Modern young adults are all reaching these milestones later in life than their parents, and young men are falling behind their female counterparts in finding success in nearly every major indicator.
In 2021, only 22% of 25-year-olds were married as compared to 83% in 1980. Similarly, 6% of 21-year-olds were married in 2021, compared to 32% in 1980. The percentage of 25-year-old men and women who have a child in the home has also dropped significantly since 1980, where men went from 30% to 11%, and women went from 48% to 24%.
While 25-year-old women's financial independence in 2021 is still lower than their male counterparts, it has grown from 50% in 1980 to 56% in 2021. Women are also more likely to have moved out of their parent's house than men in 2021, with 72% having done so. That is a decrease from 87% in 1980.
