Newest (2024) data on when young Europeans leave their parents' homes

[The Notorious SLAV]

Interesting.

In 2024, young people in the EU left their parents’ house at an average age of 26.2 years, slightly down from 26.3 years in 2023. Since 2002, this average age has fluctuated mildly between a low of 26.1 years in 2019 and a high of 26.8 years in 2006.

The highest average ages for leaving the parental home, at 30 years or above, were in Croatia (31.3 years), Slovakia (30.9), Greece (30.7), Italy (30.1) and Spain (30.0). In contrast, the lowest average ages were registered in Finland (21.4 years), Denmark (21.7) and Sweden (21.9).

The gap between the top Scandinavian and bottom Med/Slav countries is a bit crazy ngl. The average Scandinavian spends almost if not all of his 20s living alone, while the average Med or Balkaner spends none and has to wait until 30. I can only imagine how big of a topic this would be if moving out and living on your own was as important in the EU as it is in the USA. Though I can imagine some Med/Balkan foids using it as an excuse for hooking up with and dating Germanic guys. "It's not because of his height, or looks or money, but because he's got his life sorted out and isn't a loser living with his parents!"

I'm a pretty pro-EU guy, always was, like any other average person I see no reason why I should want to need a passport again to travel across Europe instead of just enjoying freedom of movement whenever I can, but stuff like this makes me slowly convinced that it simply won't survive in the long-run. What exactly do we even have in common with each other, we live in different worlds.

in the balkans at 28 you're still considered a kid by your parents.

Nords cannot stand each other because they're degenerate. They do not value family and want to be as far as possible from their families and have the financial means to do so.

No, they're just rich. No one wants to live with their parents after graduating from university or college at the age of 22 or 23. If you live with your parents, even if you're not an incel, you don't have anywhere to fuck. No one wants to live with their parents after the age of 22-23, but most people in the Balkans don't have the money for separate housing, and there's the wild neoliberal capitalism of the post-communist era.

Yeah he copes with ''at least we aren't degenerate'' even if balkanoids have strongies ties

 

[nico]

europe when nobody wants to buy their expensive , overhyped crap

 

[French Fakecel]

Does this take into account leaving your parents for student accommodation or having a real home? Because otherwise, French people generally leave their parents around the age of 17 or 18. We don't have university rooms, but accommodation reserved specifically for students.

Everyone wants to live separately from their parents, but not everyone has the opportunity. Especially in places where capitalism is more brutal.

 

[ThanostheGOAT]

Living with your parents until your 30 should be normal with how expensive housing is, assuming you partially pay for rent too ofc.

I'm not sure, but from the brief description I guess it counts any leaving of parental household.

Everyone wants to live separately from their parents, but not everyone has the opportunity. Especially in places where capitalism is more brutal.

most just can't afford to live alone

This

I would have moved out a decade ago if I could've afforded

 

[Antorian]

Latin countries are more focused on family

My father, even when he was giga prosperous in his job and could easily move out, just kept living with his mother and grandmother until he and my mom became fiancee and decided to marry

That tends to be the norm for latin nations, both in Europe and in America
