In a new study released by Pew, researchers find that while Millennials—people who were born after 1981—are back to the pre-recession era unemployment levels of 7.7% , they haven’t been able to establish themselves as adults in other ways, like owning a home or getting married.
Richard Fry, an economist and lead author of the study, describes the situation as Millennials’ "failure to launch. "Fry told TIME,"The group that was hit the hardest—young adults—are now getting full-time jobs and earnings are tracking upwards. But the surprise is that with the recovery in the labor market, there are fewer young adults living independently. "
When the recession hit, young people moved back into their parents’ house in droves, unemployed and without much hope for any future work. The thought process was that once the economy improved and Millennials returned to work, they’d scoot out of their parents’ lair. But that hasn’t been the case, and economists aren’t sure why.
About 42. 2 million 18-to-34 year olds are living away from home this year; 2007’s numbers were just above 2015’s independent young adult population at 42. 7 million. There are a few common characteristics of these Millennial householders; they are more likely to be women(72% compared to their male counterparts)and college-educated(86% of those with bachelor’s degrees were living independently compared to 75% of the same peer group holding only a high school education). Fry points to women getting in permanent romantic relationships earlier that either lead to marriage or cohabitation as the cause of this gender difference.
The consequences of Millennials still living at home go far beyond the household dynamics of adult children being at home with parents. Consider the housing sector, which has not recovered from the 2008 economic tumble. If more young adults had decided to take on home ownership, the economy may have improved more.
So how are Millennials most likely living if they’re not living at home? Probably with a roommate, or doubled up with a fellow adult who is not their spouse or partner, data suggests.
But having a roommate or living at home have real demographic effects for the future, Fry says. He goes back to two key facts: that people living independently tend to be better educated and that college educated people tend to delay marriage or not marry at all(though even Millennials with a high school education are not getting married as much as they used to). That means that less educated Millennials are facing consequences in not just the job market, but beyond.
In his study, Richard Fry finds that______.
选项
A、young adults suffer the most when the recession hit
B、young adults are getting full-time jobs and their earnings improved significantly
C、fewer young adults live independently because the labor market is still in recovery
D、Millennials would move out of their parents’ house when the economy improved
答案
A
解析
语义理解题。根据题干定位到第二段和第三段。由第二段中the group that was hit thehardest一young adults以及第三段开头When the recession hit可知,“年轻人受经济衰退的打击最严重”,所以[A]选项为正确选项。[B]选项中的表述为“现在年轻人有了全职工作,他们的收入有显著改善”,原文中只提到“薪资上涨”,但是并没有提到上涨幅度,故该选项可排除。[C]选项为“年轻人很少独立生活是因为劳动力市场还处在复苏的状态中”,原文中并没有这层因果关系,故可排除。第三段中The thought process was that once the economy improved andMillennials returned to work,they’d scoot out of their parents’lair大意为“经济形势好转后,千禧一代就会搬离父母的家。”这只是一种假设,并不是事实,也不存在这种趋势,所以[D]选项可排除。
