疫情惹的祸?30岁以下美国成人与父母同住比例创八十年新高
China Daily新冠肺炎疫情迫使人们待在家里,也迫使许多人回到了父母的家。皮尤研究中心的数据显示,美国30岁以下的成人有超半数与父母同住,其中选择在疫情期间搬回家住的美国年轻白人最多。 Photo by Amy Humphries on Unsplash The number of young adults living with their parents hit an eight-decade high in July, as the pandemic’s disruption of jobs hit young generations particularly hard. 同样,18岁到24岁人群在七月份的失业率比其他任何年龄段的人都要高。根据美国劳工统计局的数据,18岁到19岁人群的失业率是19.8%,四月份曾经飙至34.3%。20岁到24岁人群的失业率在七月份略低,为18.3%,四月份曾高达25.7%。 A majority of young adults under 30 were living at home with their parents in July, according to Pew Research Center. 但是失业只能部分解释年轻人与父母同住比例增加。 "The relatively large increase in non-Hispanic white young adults living with parents compared with young adults of other racial and ethnic backgrounds was unexpected,” said Richard Fry, senior researcher of the study at Pew Research Center. “Earlier Pew research shows that the job losses associated with the pandemic were less severe for whites.” 该研究的高级研究员、皮尤研究中心的理查德·弗莱说:“非西班牙裔的白种年轻成人与父母同住比例相比其他种族的年轻成人增幅更大让人感到意外。先前的皮尤研究显示,白人所遭受的与疫情相关的失业没那么严重。” Historically, white young adults were less likely to live with their parents than Asian, Black and Hispanic young people.
