Not relevant anymore. Now is parents work hard so that they can leave a lot of money to their children.

I believe it will be the same everywhere that have high cost of living and property prices, cos the children will be working their butts off to pay for the huge expenses. It will be worse when they have the YOLO attitude, with little savings.

You know why in China property prices are so high? That's because chinese parents have to buy houses for their sons so that they could get married. Without a house, nobody will marry them.
