At 26, 10% of young people still live with their parents due to various limitations, especially financial, a more frequent situation for those who grew in dense urban areas, said an insepted study published on Thursday. Among these young people, 26%have no job and do not study, specify the National Statistics Institute, which analyzed the situation of a cohort of 35,000 students who entered in 2007. Most of them (64%) work, while a minority (10%) are still students. These young people are less qualified and come “more often from the modest social circles.”
Young people who have grown up in dense urban areas are more likely to have left the family home (17%) at 26 years, notes. In these areas, prolonged coexistence also refers to upper graduates.
Almost one in five young people still live with their parents at the beginning of higher education.
The first departure of the parents’ house is made for three young people between 17 and 26, “but the age of this transition varies significantly depending on the type of territory of origin.” Young people who have grown up in rural areas leave the family’s house before those of urban areas, particularly to continue their studies when approaching schools, he explains. Therefore, 28% of them left their parents during secondary studies, against 6% of those of a dense urban area.
On average, one in six (16%) starts from the family home during their secondary studies. The year of Baccalaureate and the entrance to higher education corresponds to a “peak outputs”: one in five young people leaves the family’s house at that time. In addition, 18% of young people still live with their parents at the beginning of their higher education, but “leaves the family home at a later time from their student curriculum”, a “particularly frequent” situation in dense urban areas. Finally, more than a third of young people leave the family home after their studies, especially at the time of their first job (10% of them) or their couple installation (13%).
