Grown-up sons are now twice as likely as their sisters to still be living at home with their parents
It’s official. Student debt, unaffordable house prices and rising unemployment is helping create a generation of mummy’s boys.
Unable to buy their own home, saddled with student debt and struggling to find work, grown-up sons are now twice as likely as their sisters to still be living at home with their parents, official statistics revealed today.
Nearly a quarter of young men aged 25-29 still live with their parents, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). That compares with one in eight women of the same age who have not yet left home.
Even men well into their 30s are failing to fly the nest. More than one in 10 men aged 30-34 are still living in the family home, compared to fewer than one in 20 women.
The figures were revealed in a study by the ONS into the changing living arrangements of young adults.
