Marta did everything well. She got a good cut-off mark in selectivity, she entered the university without difficulty, she graduated in 2009, she took a couple of courses to complement her training, she obtained an English degree, she was a scholarship recipient decimated by precariousness for several years, she obtained a contract despite the economic crisis, he started out charging a pittance and climbed positions in that company, with small and progressive increases. Marta now earns 1,750 euros per month, a seemingly decent salary that, however, eats up 60% of her rental contract. Marta does not want to share an apartment at her age, so that monthly investment prevents her from saving for the down payment on a home. He has managed to raise around 30,000 euros, but it is completely insufficient to tackle an entry. At 38 years old, Marta, who is not a mother and has no additional family responsibilities, could be any millennial thrown into the jaws of the labor market in the 2008 recession. One of those millennials who feels in no man’s land, like when the ball He stays in the middle of the table in a foosball game and there is no way anyone can hit him.
I read it to a Twitter user named Yeezus this week: “We millennials are too young and too old at the same time.” As some traditional markers of adulthood have been relegated, many people of my generation have felt and continue to feel permanently offside. Some aid for those under 25 years of age has been extended to those under 30 or 35 years of age (such as the rental bonus announced by the Government), but the millennials who entered the job market in the 2008 recession have exactly the same problems to face a rent, without access to any help. The cut has to be put somewhere, that’s obvious. But it would have to be put in income, and not in age.
