The living wage issue for emerging adults is a problem that affects
many individuals in this life stage. For
many they are having to deal with students loans, the economic recession and
managing the numerous stresses of being an emerging adult. By achieving interdependencies or minor
achievements of independence can be troubling for an emerging adult. Earning a low income while trying to pay for
students loans and living on your own an emerging adult in this life stage
cannot often achieve the transitional experience of having a new job, living on
their own and financial independence. The
emerging adult does not have to give up all these transitional experiences;
they could share a room with another emerging adult to assist them with living
on their own. When a person is in this
life stage often times they have to rely on other resources than what they make
by sharing their life stage with other peers around them.
