About the data

The share of young people who live in their parents' household. Living under the same roof is not the only way to count. The survey also counts people working away during the week who usually come home at weekends, and pupils living away during the school term. It also counts people living away for a long time for work who contribute significantly to the household income, and higher education students living away who benefit from it, if they do not usually live in another private household.

Counted: aged 25 to 34.

Eurostat: “In the survey, a person is counted as part of the parental household if they are living with their parents” (source)

EU statistics on income and living conditions (EU-SILC). It is a yearly sample survey of households, run by the national statistical institutes.
