Just wondering what other people think about this, especially those with children in their early 20s.
There seems to be so much uncertainty for this generation compared with even 10 years ago. Graduate jobs seem much harder to get, there are constant stories about AI changing entry-level work, house prices are still out of reach for many, and a lot of employers seem to be cutting back.
Do people think this is likely to have an impact on relationships too?
I was wondering whether university couples might be less likely to stay together if one or both struggle to find work, end up living in different cities, have to move back home, or face a lot more uncertainty than previous generations.
Similarly, do you think people will delay committing, moving in together, getting engaged or married until they’re much older because they simply can’t afford to? Or do relationships tend to carry on regardless of what’s happening?
