Seven million Italians under 35 live with their parents

According to Istat, we are talking about 61.2% of unmarried Italians

Nearly seven million young people between the ages of 18 and 34 still live with their parents. And not to say that most of this figure falls on young people: about three million people were over 25. Moreover, among those who share shelter with mom and dad, thirty years are not uncommon.

It turns out that among unmarried Italians, six out of ten prefer to stay with their parents than go for free bread.

The current situation is reflected in the “Report on Social Relations”, issued jointly by the National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), the National Institute of Social Security (INPS) and the Ministry of Labor.

And the National Confederation of Farmers (Coldiretti) adds: almost four out of ten Italians (37%) enjoy financial support from their parents, that is, they remain in a certain dependence on them, even if they do not live together. By the way, in 42.3% of cases, even separately adult children live a maximum of 30 minutes walk from their home.

ISTAT data for 2012 reflect an increase compared to 2011. Over the year, the number of young people living with parents increased by 31 thousand people, reaching a total of 6,941,000. In percentage terms, the phenomenon is more significant: the number of young people living with parents increased from 59.2% in 2011 to 61 , 2% in 2012 from among all unmarried and unmarried Italians from 18 to 35 years old. And men in the total mass clearly prevail: according to the results of the estimates, there were almost four million of them, which is a million more than women.

Moreover, a higher concentration was noted in southern Italy: there alone, more than two million people “under 35” live at the same address with mom and dad.

The above figures revive old world stereotypes about Italians, as "loafers" and "sissies". But do not forget about the economic crisis raging in the country, because today almost one and a half million people aged 15 to 34 remain unemployed. And therefore, more and more young people, in anticipation of better times, do not seek to leave their home.

However, putting off “access to an independent life” over and over again, they can trap themselves in the trap of unrealized potential and inability to fulfill themselves.


On the other hand, it is interesting that those Italians who nevertheless separated from their families prefer to buy their own housing, and only a small part uses the services of landlords. According to statistics for 2011, among people over 35 years old, 68.8% live in small but their own homes, and only 31.2% rent housing.
