Kids are doing everything later. Driving, moving out, getting married, kids etc. it’s kind of been going in this trajectory for a while. I’m sure you can remember your grand parents asking you why you aren’t married or have kids at 18. So data will be skewed a couple years.

I think a few reasons for this. One is that people live longer, so have more time, but 2nd I think world is more competitive today. Anyone with a swinging leg can go to college and major in engineering or whatever. Stuff like ACT prep in 1980 was reserved for private tutors and rich kids. Today, you can go to Magoosh.com and spend $99 for a full prep. I did this and it raised my score. More college grads means more competition for good jobs. No good job means maybe at parents house.
