Global 2011: Why GenY Might Be Too Frugal

Flag of the Users Advice Bureau policyImage via Wikipedia
Drawing on research from the MacArthur Research Network on Transitions to Adulthood and Public Policy and 500 interviews with 20-somethings, Settersten and Ray reveal what is different about young adulthood today--and what to do about it. Among their key findings:

GenY has done battle with the economy.
They are closer to their parents than ever.
They might be too afraid of debt.
That frugality could last a lifetime.
Job-shopping is different from job-hopping.
Parents can help their 20-somethings by treating them like adults.
