Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In 1960, some seventy percent of thirty years olds were married, financially independent, and starting a family. In 2000, less than forty percent of thirty year olds had done so. Join Kojo as we explore that generational shift and what the social trend of “delaying adulthood” means for individuals and society.
