Finding Time: Millennial Parents, Poverty, and Rising Costs

This report from Young Invincibles examines the many challenges faced by Millennial parents, a rapidly growing sect of the U.S. population. Young Invincibles developed and analyzed a young parent grouping in the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey data and found that due to lower wages, stagnant employment rates, and rising costs, Millennial parents have experienced the highest poverty rates of young parents in the past 25 years. The report includes comparisons between the average days of Millennials with and without children, as well as policy implications and recommendations.
