Croatians want to enjoy some extra beach life without paying rent
In Sweden they have to kick you out at 18 by law?
I guess I’m a Croatian at heart.
That is really interesting.
I left when I was 17, straight out of high school, and I knew absolutely no one who lived with their parents (excepting extraordinary circumstances like special needs siblings, chronic illness, etc.)
And here in the US, 20 years ago, the median age of leaving home was 19. In 2020, it was 23.8. And that’s *still* significantly younger than most of Europe.
The social expectation is one of independence: You graduate, and you leave…whether that is to get a job and your own place, or to go off to school, it’s time to jump into the world feet-first.
Wonder what is so significantly different that practically every nation in Europe has an older emancipation age?
When you see upward of 4000€ per square meter prices in coastal cities in Croatia you wouldn’t feel like leaving either
Anything above 25 for males is a failure of the national politics of the country !
I wonder where the U.S is on this. Also, not all houses are the same. We should compare house sizes.
​
for example I know that we in Ukraine have a wealth tax for houses 60 sq meters. While I own a home it is only 26 sq meters which is comparatively small in comparison to the rest of the world.
yea for low wages and super expensive flats.
well with the current housincrises in the netherlands i frea that i will have to live with my parrents until im 50… affordable housing is a big issue here… not only for me but also for my generation….
The small share of the population who have enough wealth to own “investment” realestate are happy and screw today’s young adults (and tomorrows birth rates).
I very much suspect the numbers are not actually showing people leaving the household but instead **people of a certain age living by themselves** and that the tens of thousands of young refugees in Sweden skew the numbers for that reason.
Edit: Read the Methodological note in the source link and results are indeed based on if the respondent live or doesn’t live in the same place as his/her parents.
In Croatia it’s basically a game of chicken; which of the 3 siblings can stay in the house the longest so they can claim legitimate right to inheriting the property after the parents croak.
I left when I was 18 🚬 (TURKİSH 💪)
I really dislike this trend of calling men and women “males” and “females”. What is this, a biological survey on the mating habits of manatees?
Not only Croatia has the last place, you have to realize most leaving parental household were only motivated by immigrating. Let that sink in.
Is there a reason why women seem to leave earlier than the guys in most countries? Sweden is the only exception and it’s equal between the sexes.
But when we do, we mostly leave homeland. Which is more badass than just leaving our home..

And things are only getting worse here
And here is [GDP per capita](https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/gdp-per-capita?continent=europe).I assume that and religion (Ireland has high GDP – but love the old holy man) plays the biggest role.

Welcome the neverending house price bubble!

I have a very hard time believing the numbers for Sweden every time this is posted… Most people here move for university the year they turn 19. [Our own statistic agency, SCB say 92% of swedes live home when they turn 18 and 42% live at home when they turn 22 which supports this.](https://www.scb.se/contentassets/fb0d12c7f0b4421bb24ad0c805ac2353/be0701_2015a01_br_be51br1503.pdf)
