Resumo(s)
In Southern Europe, the exceptionally high rates of young adults
living with their parents might indicate that co-residence is more
frequent even among those more likely to live independently. In this
study we analyse living in the parental home as a decision of young
working adults in four southern European countries in comparison
with France, Germany and the United Kingdom. We use the 2012 European
Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions microdata
to estimate the probability of living in the parental home for young
working adults aged 18-34. Our core finding is that living with parents
is a common decision in southern European countries, whereas
in France, Germany and the United Kingdom young working adults opt
essentially between ownership and tenancy. The results challenge us
to rethink young adults’ paths to independent living and the role of
public policies in their endeavours.
