Some people think that young people today are less dependent on their parents. However, in my opinion, I think that young people are more dependent compared to the past for the following two subsequent reasons.
To begin with, It is difficult for young people today to get a job. Young people have no money as they cannot be hired by companies easily in the competitive society. Also it is hard to marry someone due to financial problem caused by unemployment. So people can live in parents' home in order to save money, relying on their parents. For example, I have an uncle, who is 28 years old. He has to leave his parents by the standard of the past. But he is still living with their parents in order to save money since he has no job to earn his own money.
On top of that, many young people today are only child. Most parents today tend not to have many children for their happiness. So an only child usually grow up without siblings, depending on their parents. His or her dependent behaviors usually continue although he or she becomes an adult. To explain, I am also an only child. It was my mother or father that I could rely on easily and I still think I do not have people to depend on except my parents and I am typical of young people today.
To sum up, young people today have to rely on their parents owing to unemployment and an only child's characteristics
For these reasons, I firmly believe that young people today are more dependent compared to the past.
