US poll: Half of young Americans return to the nest under the epidemic to "gnaw the old"

　　Pew Research Center in the United States survey: half of the young Americans return to the nest under the epidemic to "gnaw the old"

　　[Global Times reporter Lu Wen] According to a report by the US "Time" on the 6th, the Pew Research Center of the United States conducted a survey of adults between the ages of 18 and 29 in the country. The results released recently show that this age group is as high as 52. % Of the people (26.6 million people) lived with their parents in July this year, setting the highest record in the United States since the "Great Depression"-in 1940 this proportion was only 48%.

　　According to the survey, although the proportion of young people living with their parents in the United States has been increasing for the past 30 years, the increase this year is particularly pronounced. The proportion increased from 49% in March to 51% in April, and then to 52%.

According to analysis, economic distress during the new crown epidemic is the main reason for forcing young people to "return to the nest" and seek "asylum" from their parents.

Statistics show that young Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 are the people most affected by the current economic downturn. 40% of young people lost their jobs or lost income during the epidemic.

　　The Pew Research Center believes that young people’s “return to the nest” also means fewer renters and buyers, which has an impact on the US economy.
