Economic policies and market trends in recent years have increasingly benefited parents, particularly through tax incentives, childcare subsidies, and family-oriented social programs. These advantages, however, have come at a cost to young adults who are navigating early career challenges, rising housing costs, and limited access to affordable healthcare. While established households enjoy financial relief, many individuals in their twenties and thirties face mounting pressures without equivalent support structures. Wage growth for entry-level positions has not kept pace with inflation, and asset accumulation remains out of reach for a growing segment of the population. This imbalance highlights a generational disparity in economic well-being, where policy gains for one group coincide with heightened financial strain for another.
