Millennial women are seeing a reduction in the wage gap and better graduation rates, but a stark rise in premature, preventable deaths, the PRB said.

US millennial women saw their well-being decline, a first in modern times, per non-profit PRB.

Homicide, maternal mortality, and suicide rates have all increased for women aged 25 to 34.

The sudden reversal in progress for young women's safety comes despite an improved economic status.

Contributing factors to the overall rise included the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased domestic violence rates, and a recent leap in gun violence incidents, the report also said.

Homicide is now also the leading cause of death for pregnant and postnatal women, more so than typical maternal mortality causes, the report noted.

    But millennial women also are faring better in the economy The decline in safety among millennial women comes despite their improved financial and education status compared to generations before. At least 43.6% of young millennial women in the US have graduated college — a record level in modern history. That's compared to 28% of Gen X women and 22% of baby boomer women who graduated by the time they turned 34, the report said.

    Omg, shut the fuck up! There’s literally no bright side to dying.

      And like, what good is that increased education rate if education's value has gone down the shitter? Now even having a master's is just considered the bare minimum to enter the workforce? Hell, why are boomers allergic to admitting that millennials are fucking poor, and it's all because they ate up the good stuff before millennials were even born?
