Three young women pose for a we-fie shot.
Millennial women are seeing a reduction in the wage gap and better graduation rates, but a stark rise in premature deaths, the PRB said.
  • 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.

For decades, young women in the US saw sharp progress in their health and safety with each passing generation, but that momentum has now reversed for millennials.
