At least in the US, tech is currently in a wage supression war, and I’m afraid this will ripple out all the world.

But for “a lot of people live with their parents” that’s actually a sign that things are not going well at all. This can be seen all over Europe, and just means that people cannot afford to move out, not that they like living with their parents. If/when they inherit their parent’s house they might be in their fifties or sixties, and most of their prime life is gone by then.




No, it really isn't. There's a cultural preference in the white USA for "moving out" of your parents house, but that's not universal.

Canada is very multicultural, and a lot of people choose to live with their parents as a matter of preference.

On your second point, I don't see what being in the "prime of life" has to do with living with your parents or not. But even that isnt the case , for example my friend's grandma is moving into a retirement home so they're moving into her old house.
