Generation Y Becomes Generation Why BotherHere’s a TERRIFIC opinion piece from this morning’s New York Times, exploring the counter-intuitive Demographic Twist of our time:  kids aren’t moving out, moving on, and getting on with life.  And it’s NOT just about the economy.

For example, this piece cites the fact that in 1980, 80% of teens proudly had their Drivers Licenses in hand.  In 2008, that number is a paltry 65%.

I blogged a little about this phenomena (“Failure to Fledge”) last year–check out Todd and Victoria Buchholtz’s fascinating piece in the NY Times right here.

Let me know what you think!
