BREAKING: According to a new study, more than two-thirds of young Americans are unable to achieve basic independence milestones. This has created what mental health professionals are calling the most important developmental crisis in modern American history. The condition Failure To Launch Syndrome is affecting 67% of young adults aged 18 to 29 and is not going away.
Data tells the story of a family crisis in America. More than half of young adults, 52%, lived with their parents in 2020, which is highest since Great Depression, while 25% of 25-34 aged adults are still in multigenerational households. Each year, millions of American families find that the dream of raising a child has turned into a nightmare.
Dr. Eli Lebowitz, Yale Child Study Center, describes “a perfect storm of economic pressure, mental health issue and family system dysfunction that is preventing an entire generation from launching into adulthood.”
