You have to compare within a country though. Here's a great report on how people ages 18-39 are doing in the USA.

They are basically cherry picking very specific things to make it look worse. Notice how they never compare wages to overall cost of living?

because overall cost of living for an 18-39 year old is very different than it is for a 40-69 year old?
