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.

    Is this worse than men of the same age range? Cause usually you hear about men having worse life expectancy, etc and the article doesn’t compare the two.

      The article isn’t really about men because it’s implying the reason women’s mortality is getting worse is because of a combination of Covid and also dudes killing their wives/girlfriends when they get pregnant since they can’t get an abortion anymore. There’s not really a male equivalent to compare it to.

        Normies WILL defend this over abortion.

        I wasn’t saying it should be about men. “Women in 20s and 30s more likely to die than any generation since wwii” surprised me since usually men have the worst life expectancy prospects. A quick reading didn’t clear up for me if this was any generation, or any generation [of women]. Though as someone pointed out I missed where they said the report is only dealing with women.
