Shouldn't Norway's be Norwegian [millennials] in the title?

I have never heard of a Norwegian referred to as a 'Norway'.

To me, the title reads as: "Unlike most millennials, the Norway countries are rich" which doesn't make any sense because millennials are people not countries.

I believe the submitter was going for "Norway's Millennials" which I believe still sounds okay.

I read it as "Norway's [millenials]", which seems fine grammatically.

It's referring to them as 'the millennials of Norway', short: 'Norway's millennials'. You are correct that those millennials would be Norwegians.

While not as bad off as the US, we are still seeing similar trends. They still can't afford to buy apartments until their 30s if they have good jobs, while their parents bought houses at the age of 20 working as factory drones.

I think their parents got mortgages which they were paying off all their factory drone lives, not bought these houses.
