20-something, The Odyssey Years

If you are 20-something today, you are in the so-called Odyssey Years, a time of wandering on a path to maturity. Parents are increasingly concerned and interested in the health and lifestyles of their 20-30 year old children.  Many in this group seem to be less mature and more self-centered than those decades before them. Young people from earlier years were quite different from today's 20-30 year olds.

Just one example, in the year 1970, 21 percent of people age 25 were not married, and in 2005 it was 60 percent. Could this be do to technology, economic and social stress factors, narcissism, lack of communication with parents or a combination of these factors.
