The number of young adults living with their parents has reached an all-time high, with more than a quarter of people aged 20 to 34 still living at home, new figures have revealed.
The number of young adults living with their parents has reached an all-time high, with more than a quarter of people aged 20 to 34 still living at home, new figures have revealed.
Data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that the percentage of young adults living with their parents in the UK has risen from just over a fifth (21 per cent) in 1996 to 26 per cent in 2017, rising from 2.7 million to 3.4 million in the past two decades.
Young men are considerably more likely to still be living with their parents than their female counterparts. The figures show that nearly a third (32 per cent) of males aged 20 to 34 years are currently living with their parents, compared with only a fifth (20 per cent) of females in the same age group.
Just stretch out that period between adolescence and parenthood to the extent it becomes a prolonged state of infantile bliss. Teenage hedonism on a grown-up salary; being old enough to smoke weed but still having your mum do your laundry; not having to share your Star Wars figures with anyone. This is the new American dream.
