A recent AP-NORC survey finds that 70% of teenage girls versus 54% of boys view college as very important for their future, highlighting a significant gender gap.
More broadly, about 7 in 10 teens report that home ownership has become more difficult for their generation compared to their parents, and over half see raising a family as more challenging.
