Whether Millennials are at school, in the workplace, or at home, their behavior is confounding older generations—prompting many to label this generation as entitled, narcissistic, and lazy. But most of these widely held views betray ignorance about who Millennials really are. And according to another Census series, 40% of Millennials (ages 18 to 34) lived with their parents and other family members in 2015—the largest share since 1940. But that’s clearly not the whole story, because the share of Millennials living with their parents is still rising eight years later. During the serious early ‘80s recession, young Boomers—who had record-low rates of multigenerational living—showed little inclination to move back in with parents who they really didn’t want to be around.
