However, it remains extremely difficult for young people in China to afford a home in cities solely through their salaries. Young adults from ordinary families often require substantial financial support from their parents to start a household. My former boss once lamented this very issue: "In China today, it's the middle-aged and elderly who hold the wealth, while young people have barely a penny to their name!" I hope that China's high-quality growth over the next five to ten years will create more decent, high-paying jobs for the younger generation.
