Rising rents push non-college men home, out of labor market

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A growing number of non-college-educated men in the United States are living with their parents and exiting the labor force, a trend linked to soaring rent prices and stagnant wages. Research indicates that a 10% increase in local rents can lead to a significant rise in these men moving back home. This phenomenon is exacerbated by parents' increased capacity to support adult children due to accumulated housing wealth, while wages for this demographic have remained largely unchanged since the 1960s.

    More noncollege-educated men are living at home and falling out of the labor market, forcing a decline in marriages, all thanks to rising rents

    “Very real economic forces” are “limiting the options for non-college-educated men,” said Gabrielle Penrose of the American Institute for Boys and Men.
