Book 3-Unit 1 A generation ago, children in many Western countries moved out of home when they left school for work or college study. They would rent a room or share a flat with other teenagers. Today’s young adults are not in such a hurry to leave. It is often more comfortable to live at home than to rough it in cheap accommodation. There are two reasons for this change. The first reason is the depressed job market, which makes it more and more difficult for young school-leavers to get a good job. Besides, many governments have made severe cuts in educational funding. Students are required to pay fees or part of the fees for college education. The second reason is a change of attitude toward life. Today’s young people have more spending power than their parents and they are more prepared to use it.
