A proper education > start working early
Experiencing stuff > getting babies early
They aren't less mature, they just settle down later than before, which is fine.
Mother pus bucket!
In my experience working with young adults, is that they are just as clueless as we were at that age; however I believe they have a different outlook, because times have changed.
And whose fault is that? Old people's fault because the didn't teach their children the importance of caring for the elderly. Who puts elderly parents in carehomes old people age 25+ not 18-25 year old. So get your facts straight, Adam.Actually statistically that's less so now! There's actually a shortage of young carers because most don't actually consider it a job opportunity
Just take a look at non-western cultures and how a lot of stress is placed on kids looking after the elderly and how it's normal for elderly relatives/extended family to live in the same household.
Yes, Adam. You need to focus on the facts.

No. The reason why your elders moved out earlier was because housing wasn't as stupidly expensive as it is now and you didn't need mountains of student loans to get a decent job.

Every generation thinks they are better than the generation preceding and succeeding it.
Vsauce has a great video on Juvenoia. Should watch it.
In any case, is it fair to call the younger generation "less mature" when they'll probably live longer? Sure they might get to an arbitrary "mature" point later, but their life expectancy is generally higher so it's more like their life experience is stretched out than that they'll stagnate.
I mean, that line of thinking makes about as much sense as most generational debates, so why not.
People in harsher earlier life conditions mature earlier. Still plenty of young folk having to grow up early to suit the needs of the family.
"man childs" have always been around and men have always been said to be more immature for whatever reason. Typically the definition of maturity being "You arent allowed to like things".

I think that every generation has their issues... just, the newer generations have more toys to use to display those issues... better.

The question's kinda impossible to even be subjective in an unbiased manner, honestly. No one experiences childhood in multiple generations, so no one can fairly compare how different generations felt, developed or their pressures and stresses. The only people who "get" to make such an opinion are people who practically by definition are at a high risk of being nostalgic, biased and conservative in their views of what growing up means because hey, I grew up X way so that's "the norm", regardless of how different the world was then.

It depends on your definition of mature. If self-sufficiency is the metric for maturity then yes, clearly people are out on their own much later in life these days on average. It doesn't necessarily mean they "act" much differently, but they may. Typically when you're on your own, you have less time and desire to partake in non-nonsensical actions.
I'd think yes on average in the western world. Being cuddled, shielded from challenges, not given responsibility, etc. etc. takes away a lot of opportunities to grow up and develop.
It's worse in the middle class and up in China though. Their one-child policy has created a super weird "generation" of only-child's that the families had to make sure succeeded. Being cuddled, given all the attention and treated as princes and princesses seems to have made them very poorly prepared to handle adult life on their own. Quite a few interesting articles about it floating around.
