"Men living at home miss two critical windows for building social skills and friendships. The dorm is a crucible-you're thrown together with strangers, you have no choice but to figure it out, and somewhere in that mess, friendships form that last decades."
"According to a recent working paper from the American Institute for Boys and Men, about one in six men without a college degree are currently living with their parents-double the rate of college graduates."
"Rents have risen roughly 150 percent in real terms since 1960, making it increasingly difficult for men without a college degree to achieve independence."
One in six men without a college degree currently lives with their parents, which is double the rate of college graduates. These men miss critical opportunities to develop social skills and friendships, as living at home limits their exposure to communal living experiences. Additionally, men living with their parents are significantly less likely to participate in the labor force. Rising rents have exacerbated this issue, making independence increasingly difficult for those without higher education.
