Two fifths of working young adults still live with their parents, study findsKenneth FoxSome 40 per cent of Irish young people aged 25 to 34 who are in employment are still living with their parents, according to a new study. In Nordic countries it is much less common for people in their 20s and 30s to live with their parents than in Southern Europe. This is partly cultural but can also be attributed to the precarious employment situation of temporary workers in Southern Europe. Young people are more likely to be in temporary employment and this lack of employment security can prevent them from securing accommodation outside the family home. Young people are also less satisfied with their jobs than older cohorts and would like more autonomy at work.
