The grim reality of millennials who rely on their parents for money: ‘I pay for lunch at work, and I pay for my Netflix account’ Where The Millennials Are And Some Implications. Millennials are poorer and own less property than previous generations. Millennials work less than their parents yet suffer more from workplace stress. Millennial burnout is a phrase that has been thrown around a lot in recent times.
It refers to the notion that millennials – those born in the '80s and '90s – are overloading themselves to the point that they struggle with everyday tasks. But a new study has found that millennials are actually spending far less time in their places of work than the generations that came before them. Yet, despite these shorter hours and more freedoms in the workplace, millennials also feel like they are under much greater pressure. Millennials being squeezed out of middle class, says OECD.
Millennials in advanced economies around the world are being squeezed out of the ranks of the middle class, including in Britain, as pay growth stalls and house prices skyrocket, according to the OECD.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said that for every generation since the baby boom of the 1940s, across 40 major countries, the middle-income group had shrunk and its economic influence weakened. The Paris-based organisation, which represents 36 wealthy nations around the world, but also included South Africa, China, Russia and Brazil in its analysis, said there had also been a noticeable decline in the living standards of middle-income families over the past three decades. It said there were 15 countries where the middle class was now a smaller group than before the financial crisis; the group was defined as people whose earnings are between 75% and 200% of median national income.

Malte Mueller/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Malte Mueller/Getty Images. Time. Nearly a quarter of young people who identified as Republicans in 2015 now lean towards Democrats, according to a new study.
Overall, most people who identify with a certain party tend to maintain their political affiliation. But according to a Pew Research study about party loyalty, young Republicans are far more likely to switch parties than older Republicans or Democrats of any age. The researchers found that only about half of surveyed Republicans under 30 stayed steadfastly loyal to their party from 2015 on: 21% left the party but returned by March 2017, and 23% defected to the Democrats.
That was significantly higher than the number of young Democrats who defected to the Republican side (9%) or the number of older Democrats who defected (14%.) Mashable. There are a lot of misconceptions about millennials.

They lived in large camps, depending on one another for food, childcare, and everything else—all without walls, doors, or picket fences. In comparison, the number of people living in most households in today’s developed countries is quite small. According to the Census Bureau, fewer than three people lived in the average American household in 2010.
The members of most American households can be counted on one hand, or even, increasingly, one finger: Single-person households only made up about 13 percent of all American households in 1960. How Millennials Lack Of Manners Is Killing Class. You’re about to walk into a building and the girl in front of you just let’s the door go behind them and slam in your face; she didn’t even attempt to hold it open.
