I have never thought so much about my future, until hitting eighteen in year twelve. The stress of attending uni, studying, securing a job and the big one- getting married! Marriage, I’m sure, has been something every teenage girl looks forward to. As for me, I have never been so skeptical of such an exciting life event.

As an American I have learned from my schooling that I can have a profession and that I don’t need to have children until I feel ready or financially stable. This is what I have follow and feel successful as I am the first women in my family to have a college degree. Now that I have retuned to school my family is having a hard time understanding why I have returned and feel that I am running out of time to create a family.

The Suburban Select segment comprises of Canadian parents between 35 to 49 years of age with university level education or postgraduate degrees; the life cycle is considered to be middle-aged achievers. This segment consists of Canada’s up-and-coming business class families; an affluent suburban family with dual-income couples (Household income $75M+) typically living with at least one child aged 12 to 17 years (Household size 3+). Given the segments’ high percentage of professionals, senior managers, and business owners there

75% of my respondents that despite their desire to travel, even if they wanted to, they wouldn’t be able to afford to buy a home before they reached 30. After the second World War, Australia was overwhelmed by policies that encouraged home ownership and “families as individual units” (Sharman 1984). Since such a time when housing was booming, home ownership, particularly in Sydney, has become gradually unattainable (McNamara & Connell 2007). Since the 1980’s the percentage of young people aged 20 - 24 in Australia living in shared arrangements doubled (Burke, Pinkey & Ewing 2002), making apparent that other forms of household were inaccessible. This, I believe, reflects escalated housing prices, interest rates and land value. Furthermore, in 1980 26% of young people aged 20 - 24 in Australia lived alone, and by 2000, only 9.3% were living alone (Burke, Pinkey & Ewing 2002). Thus, despite Australia’s economic geography, shared living has since become an attractive and viable option for not only economically constrained students but also young single professionals with the promise of friendship and mutual support (economic or otherwise) (Clark & Tuffin 2015). Half of the participants had moved into a shared household with a person or people they had met before, though 60% of the group hoped that they would make new

Over the next 50 years ageing baby boomers will have great impact on the Canadian economy in the area of health care. Baby boomers who were born between 1946 and 1964 increased the demand for elementary schools, high schools, post- secondary education and family housing. By 2062 many baby boomers will turn 100, now that they are aging, the demand for health care, death services, retirement homes and medicine is increasing. From 2015 to 2062, there is a predicted cost of $7.2 trillion that will be spent in health care for senior citizens. For funeral services for the baby boomers in 2015, there is an estimated cost of $2.8 trillion, and old pension cost of $1.3 trillion. The senior

Adsett states that one problem may be the increase of neo-liberalism. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the government of Canada was based around what she calls the “Trudeau era.” During this time, fertility rates were incredibly high, so the government needed to base many of its policies around young voters and their needs. Adsett states that the baby-boomer society was “defined by a strong youth culture and by a strong youth counter culture that ‘mobilized’ for change, threatened to ‘drop-out’ and questioned adults’ values and authority” (Adsett, 253). The Canadian government realized that it needed to get the support of the growing younger generation. New programs were implemented that would help with unemployment, college tuition, and new home placement. Young

I was born in a conservative area in China where everyone’s life path usually was decided when they were born by their parents. However, I am very lucky because my parents are both very open-minded, and they usually let me make my own decisions in my life. As time goes by, I realize that a lot of friends of mine do not have their own dream to follow, they just do anything their parents asked. All people have their right to follow their hearts and make their own life decisions. We don’t need to live like someone else or become the person who our parents or siblings want us to be.

Contrary to popular belief “boomerang kids “or kids who fail to leave home, as they are called did not start during the “great recession” as numbers show. Research shows that this phenomenon has been increasing in number between the years of 1980 to 2008 (Adams, 2012). There can be several reasons that can be attributes to this. The go to

It all started in the 1980s, when the “college premium” began to rise. Younger adults went to college and got degrees. Today the pre-adults are put to the side to transition into adulthood. Women and men are not the same as they used to be. When the women would stay home and the men would provide for his family. In this generation children or marriage can easily be skipped. Young Americans go through a “quarter life crisis” which is to worry about their future. People are getting married later, “by 2000 only one third had reached that milestone”.

Me being fourteen I am starting to think about my future. Whether it be college, housing, my family, or dating. Life will bring so many opportunities, and with the opportunities will come responsibilities and rules. Rules could apply to driving, curfews, and many other things. I know my child or children will have rules they will have to follow. All of their rules may not come from me, but I know their dating rules will, and my child or children will follow these rules.

I came from a Chinese descent family in Indonesia, a country in South East Asia, which is known as a very conservative country both in social and cultural aspects. To be born in Indonesia, I rarely go outside my country and encounter people from another nation and another race, other than Indonesian people or the Chinese and Indian descent society. It has always been my greatest interest to continue my education, and to get my post-secondary degree overseas. However, I have never imagined that I could leave my country and come to Canada, to enter and study in a public college here. It was all started after I graduated from high-school.

My parents were from the baby boomer

The book mentioned this part of life as “singlehood”, which is our society putting more of an emphasis on individual events (Gladding, 2015). Also, moving on in your own life has made you appreciate them more, which is something that I would want to feel in the future. I would still like to be close to my family at some level when I leave, but I am worried about the initial disconnection. Knowing my family patterns, I can see that it may be a very big issue, but that I will eventually have to do and hope for them to understand why I need to do so. I am also not in a big rush to get married at this point, but it would be nice to have a partner again and have more support in my life. I too am focusing on my future and career aspirations at this point. The book mentioned, this stage as also a time for striking a balance between having a career and having a family (Gladding, 2015). I like the example you mentioned, about having your priorities in order because that is exactly what the book talked about and the stage that I am at

In my opinion, the attitudes of Canadian students towards education are different for the attitudes of students in my country for this reason. Vietnamese students go to school for getting knowledge, and we can get a dream job. However, I believe that things work differently in the colleges or universities in Vietnam, and its depend on each personality’s thought. In my case, when I finished the main course of the university in my country, my job was different from I have learned in the school. In fact, my situation is the same cases with most of Vietnamese students. Hence, Vietnamese parents only want their children who finish the high school and then find a job. Contrary to Canadian students or international students, they get the main program;
