Generation Y has been hit disproportionately hard by the financial crisis and subsequent Great Recession that is still rocking economies worldwide. Ushering in record levels of unemployment, significant debt, and the bleakest economic landscape in modern history, the Great Recession will have long-lasting social and economic effects-not only for those born between 1976 and 2000, but for their parents and children as well. Trapped by debt and joblessness, these young adults are postponing marriage, home-buying, and child-bearing. The American dream is moving farther and farther out of their reach. - - Drawing on extensive interviews with a wide range of these disheartened young adults, The End of the Good Life gives voice to those struggling in the new economy, both in America and around the world. A Brussels-based reporter with a global perspective, Riva Froymovitch offers unique insight into how the ongoing recession in Europe should serve as a cautionary tale for our own country.
