This seems kind of meaningless without comparisons to other generations at the same age. And whether this is unusual or not seems to also depend a lot on socioeconomic class…I don’t think it’s very unusual for well-to-do parents to give some amount of money to young adult children? Actually aren’t a lot of gen Z still in high school? If anything I’m surprised so many millennial parents have extra money to give.

Might be interesting to ask ourselves, what the natural order really is: is intergenerational support the outlier, or the norm? Historically and across cultures.

For comparisons, intergenerational housing of millennials was often viewed as an anomaly, but in fact it is generational housing that is an anomaly, specifically a product of post-war affluence.

I think in the UK they have started to offer intergenerational mortgages, considering how unaffordable housing became.

It blows my mind that back in the days people with very simple jobs were able to afford buying their roof, nowadays it is a challenge even for highly skilled professionals if they happen to live in a highly sought city.
