Generation Y Becomes Generation Why Bother?

Here’s a TERRIFIC opinion piece from March 2012, published in the New York Times, exploring the counter-intuitive Demographic Twist of our time: kids aren’t moving out, moving on, and getting on with life. And it’s NOT just about the economy.

For example, this piece cites the fact that in 1980, 80% of teens proudly had their Drivers Licenses in hand. In 2008, that number is a paltry 65%.

I blogged a little about this phenomena earlier (“Failure to Fledge“) –check out Todd and Victoria Buchholtz’s fascinating piece in the NY Times right here.
