The document discusses at what age young people typically move out of their parents' home. It notes that according to a social psychologist, many young people in Britain and the USA now live at home until age 25 or older, even if they have jobs and earn money. This is contrasted with other European countries where children typically leave home earlier. The document uses the example of Italy, where 30% of men and 18% of women between 30 and 34 still live with their parents, to show how adult children living at home is more common than in the past. It concludes with the story of a 30-year-old Italian man who is still financially supported by his father.
