Now what does it mean that our young people are behaving in these ways?

By their thirties they do the hiring in most companies and their experiences mean they don't hire the baby boomers for many reasons which we will go into later.

The most indebted generation ever. The Albatross Within?. Why all this debt?

Can't find a job, living at home, working as waitress and waiters and debt which can never be repaid.

So lets have a look at what we have above by way of an interium summary on the family. We have:

1. Most of the West-The US, all of Europe, Russia, China, Japan all have aging populations and are non-replicating in terms of population; These countries are currently depend upon immigrant labor to maintain their current life styles, or seriously imbalanced or under populated.

This also means that their aging populations are less and less productive and more and more dependent upon young immigrant populations for survival and to maintain their life styles. It also means more and more dependency upon government since living wage jobs are also disappearing.

Meantime the wealth of these societies is increasingly concentrated in the hands of an ever-shrinking minority of the super rich.

That is a powder keg situation and one which will likely end in turmoil, social upheaval, intermarrage trends and/or vast demographic changes.

2. Young whites are being sacrificed as well as the poor and the middle class to this increasingly powerful tiny monied class, desperate to hold on to power and money.
  The young people are seeing their future where there is now and will be fewer and fewer jobs in the future, crippling debt, a generation without family experiences and supports, who have learned that their future depends upon toadying to corporations for jobs; who currently are working as "interns" for nothing in the millions, and no money and no benefits.

See:

This is generation which will have to relocate to other countries for work which is already happening to other countries.

In the US when things have gotten like this in the past the US goes to war where the rich get richer off the war-the country going into more and more debt with war becoming a gigantic employment program for some and the rest  become fodder in the conflagration that war is. So what to do?

Next time: Solutions

Now with a shrinking, less educated population, with no skills in one cohort and highly technical skills in another cohort, the obvious solution is to put the young people to work rebuilding the country.
See my blogs on Obama, and "America What has to be Done" both on this site.

Young people from all over the world can and will come here to the US if we simply pay them modest amounts is what could be seen as a domestic peace corp, maybe calling the project "Re-Building America."  The young people, now unemployed, go to the small towns and rebuild them on a green basis. See my blogs on this site, mentioned above. I have cited them below for convenience.
