London, October 20 (ANI): Many women aged between 20 and 25 are struggling to tick the boxes of financial independence, career fulfilment and sexual satisfaction, a new report has revealed.
According to the report by Sky Atlantic HD to mark the UK premiere of Lena Dunham's 'Girls', a third of women still live with their parents and nearly six out of ten regularly borrow money from their mother or father just to get by, with the average wage of a typical twenty-something woman being just 13,186.23 pounds a year.
'Girls' explores the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of girls in their early twenties in New York.
The report also found that a typical twenty-something female pockets 103.26 pounds from her parents every month to cover basic living costs like food, rent or mortgage, toiletries and phone bills.
Additionally, more than four out of ten admitted that their career, financial situation and living arrangements are 'unsettled'.
Around half who work said they 'settled for any old job' with no relevance to their studies or interests with a similar number admitting worrying that they will never be able to support themselves.
The study also revealed that by her 20s, the average woman will have had either one or two relationships which lasted a year or more.
The average twenty-something female admits less than half of her sexual experiences today have been great, with 43 percent admitting they feel they have made a number of 'relationship mistakes'.
Indeed, 54 percent of those polled confess that they feel they have already made "many" mistakes in their lives - with past relationships top of the list ahead of overspending, trusting someone they shouldn't have and their choice of education.
However, in spite of financial and professional worries and past mistakes, twenty-something women from Britain feel secure in their friendships with less than one sixth of those polled describing their friendships as being "unsettled."
"It's no surprise to those of us who have been through - and survived - our twenties that it is not the easiest of decades," the Daily Mail quoted Elaine Pyke, Director of Sky Atlantic, as saying.
"The genius of Girls lies in its authenticity - painting a hilariously honest picture of how complicated, embarrassing but brilliant life as a twenty-something year old trying to make her way in the world today can be," Pyke added. (ANI)
