The Parenthood Predicament: High Housing Costs and the Urgent Need for Supportive Policies

The High Cost of Housing and the Challenges of Parenthood Parenthood is an important milestone in many people’s lives, but the high cost of housing and the lack of supportive policies make it financially and logistically challenging for young couples in major cities. This predicament is not limited to a single country; it is a global issue that requires attention and action. In most major metropolitan areas, housing prices have skyrocketed, making it nearly impossible for young couples to afford a home.
