52% of young adults in US live with parents 8th September, 2020 A new study from the Pew Research Center has revealed that most adults under 30 years old are now living with their parents. The study says the number of 18- to 30-year-olds who live at home has hit an 80-year high. Around 52 per cent, or 26.6 million, of young people are at home with one or both of their parents. Researchers say that not since 1940 have so many of the younger generation lived with their parents. Only in the Great Depression of the 1930s was the percentage higher. The researchers say there has been a recent rise in the number of young adults moving back in with their parents. A contributory factor to this spike is the economic downturn and a rise in unemployment caused by coronavirus. Regarding the economy, financial analyst Jeremy Sopko said: "You have to take into account two huge factors: massive student loan debt and a lack of available work." He added: "It's a difficult situation that's been exacerbated by the pandemic and it may take...the better part of a decade for younger demographics to recover and be financially stable enough to leave home." Another commentator said the trend could have adverse effects on the property rental market. She said: "With a lot of young people not renting, not moving into cities...there is a lot of inventory coming onto the market." Mr Sopko concluded: "For the most part, nobody wants to be living at home with mom and dad."

Questions?

Do you know guys, that 52% of young adults in the US still live with their parents, so what do you think about the case of many young adults still living with their parents?

 

Answer:

          A reasonable thing if they still living with their parents until they have their own money to support their life. a young person who is still living with their parents is okay, as is the case with the corona virus now, which is causing the economy. The high rate of unemployment is one of the big factors of why there's still many young people who still live with their parents. But it's not that if they continue to be under the auspices of their parents, they will become spoiled children and not independent, while they will later have families, they should work and learn independently because their parents can't always accommodate them. And also as parents they should teach them to live independently. it doesn't matter if they stay at their parents' house if they are already in college or working, also to save costs maybe. as long as it doesn't burden their parents, they are free to stay with their parents or not. because it is impossible for parents to influence if their children live with their parents.

 

·       Chat

Talk about these words from the article.

study / research / young / adults / home / parents / younger generation / downturn / economy / analyst / student loan / debt / pandemic / stable / property rental / cities

Answer:

I think the article explains that 25% of young adults in the US still choose to live in their parents' homes. this has been stated by researchers since 1940, but on the other hand researchers also see that currently there are still many young adults living with their parents due to the corona virus, this has resulted in a lot of unemployment with a fairly rapid spike. so they decided it would be better to live with their parents. but this also causes losses in property rental services because many people experience financial difficulties which result in arrears everywhere, therefore it is very important to think carefully about when is a good age if you want to have your own home so that problems like this can be overcome.

·        Discussion – Student B

a) What do you think about what you read?

In my opinion, in general, young adults who are in the US should choose to stay at home with their parents due to the current pandemic conditions. By staying at home with their parents, I think it will reduce the burden a little in dealing with finances to meet the needs of daily life.

b) What do you think of student loans?

I think, student loans provided by the government are very burdensome for the students' families because if they want to get these funds, they are required to replace them in the future. The interest given in this loan will also increase continuously. With this interest, the United States is currently experiencing a student loan crisis. The money is given to pay tuition fees or meet educational needs during college. However, not a few of them abuse it for sightseeing, vacationing, and shopping for something. This abuse causes them to be unable to pay their loans and causes an economic crisis.

c) Why will it take a decade for young adults to be able to leave home?

The probability of moving before the age of 27 correlates with several individual characteristics. Women are more likely to move than men, and whites are more likely to move than blacks or latinos. Generally, young adults with higher educational attainment tend to leave their parents' homes at a higher rate. Those with a General Education Development (GED) credential are an exception, as they are more likely to transfer than those with multiple colleges. Among individuals taking the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) exam,10 those with higher scores were more likely to transfer.

The instability that moving out creates is a part of the developmental transition that is emerging adulthood. “Young people who leave home for the first time do experience it as a crisis, although they are excited to leave,” says Mann-Feder. “They are overwhelmed at first by the many responsibilities involved in taking care of themselves and running a household.”

d) What are the bad things about living with your parents?

- There can often be disputes because there are differences of opinion between you and your parents about how to build a family/household.

- Other people may judge you are not independent because you still live with your parents after marriage.

- You and your partner will feel a great financial and mental burden if you have lived at your parents' house for years. Therefore, discuss this carefully between you and your partner, along with your parents.

e) Is it better to rent or buy an apartment?

Renting is great for those of you who are still unstable and provides good mobility and flexibility. Meanwhile, buying an apartment is good to be placed for family/private or investment.

f) Would you prefer to live at home or on your own?                                                      I have never lived alone before so I prefer to live with my parents because one of the biggest advantages of living at home is the luxury of having time to sit down and think of length about your career decisions. Another reason is that you can save a lot of money and you can focus more on your studies. Being less burdened by problems like cooking and cleaning leaves plenty of room for long, uninterrupted study sessions. But if one day in an urgent situation and conditions that allow I will try to live alone so that I can practice my independence.

g) What advice do you have for young adults?

Stop trying to figure out what only time can answer. When you wake up, be your best self. Be responsible, laugh, eat well, sleep well, be friendly and kind and continue to develop your talents and hobbies. Follow your heart but take your thoughts with you. Educate yourself about the things you want to do. Over time, you will clearly see what you have time for and what you want to do. No one is in a hurry, and no one has the right to take it step by step and learn to study yourself and see what you are not interested in and what you are losing interest in.

With time, dear young adults, with the right timing and decisions, everything will make sense and you will come to know who you are and what your place in the world is. Now, be your best self. You are amazing!

h) What questions would you like to ask the researchers?

What has been the impact of your researchs?

Because here they are also trained to be fluent but return to their respective personalities about sooner or later benefiting from studying there.

Yes, they are here not only to study but also to make friends from other countries so that they indirectly increase their knowledge of the language without having to go to that place. However, this opportunity cannot be obtained by everyone due to financial limitations.
