Young women are living with Mom and Dad as if it's 1940

This actually makes sense. Young men more and more don't see college (mostly getting out with 40,000 to 80,000 or more in debt as practical. So, maybe they get a technical degree whereas, more and more young women go to college to 

1. get a career

2. meet their marriage partner

3 prepare for raising children if that's what they want to do.

So, it makes complete sense that more and more girls will be living at home to make all this possible financially and emotionally. 

And as more and more research shows: Young women are 33% more likely to get college degrees than young men. Whereas it might be as likely for a young man to go to college but not to finish because they don't want to have to live at home with their parents the rest of their life to be able to pay off student loans. Living at home is much more onerous for a boy than for a girl after 18 or 20 for a variety of reasons.

Young women are living with their parents or relatives at a rate not seen since 1940 as more millennial women put off marriage, attend college and face high living expenses.
