"Self-esteem."
Uhm, that seems to be utterly lacking as well. The number of kids who move back in with their parents and pretty much never leave the nest anymore is mind-boggling these days.

But when self-esteem isn't based on accomplishments and is just taught as a basic "right" they can move back in and feel just fine about it.
That's because "modern" parents often totally pamper their kids. They buy them everything they want. No wonder that any feeling of accomplishment vanishes. That was very different in my days and I am thankful to my parents that they didn't do that to us. For example, I had to slave six grueling weeks in a meat-packing and processing plant to make enough money to by my first used and heavily beat-up ham radio transceiver. The 8 miles back home on a bicycle at night were really excruciating but in the end it got the objective accomplished.
