In the film “Failure to Launch,” the character played by Matthew McConaughey lived with his parents for over 30 years. His parents, tired of his behavior, decided to hire a woman to help him leave the house. This film reflects reality. Research shows that more and more young people prefer to stay with their parents rather than strive for independence. According to Eurostat data, one in three European men aged 25 to 34 lives with their parents. Meanwhile, among women, this figure is only one in five. In Montenegro, young people leave their family homes at an average age of 33, in Croatia at 32, in Slovakia at 31, and in Italy at 30. On average, Europeans start living independently after the age of 25. The lowest number of young people living with their parents is observed in Denmark (3.2%), Finland (4.7%), and Sweden (6%). Meanwhile, in Croatia, Slovakia, and Greece, more than half of the youth remain in their parental home. The situation is similar in the United States, where one in four people aged 25 to 33 lives with their parents. In Russia, according to data from the NAFI analytical center, 54% of young people under 25 live with their parents, and 14% are aged 35 to 44. 42% of respondents left their parents' home between the ages of 18 and 21. According to Andrea Breen, an associate professor of family relations at a Canadian university, the main reason for this is economic necessity. Housing prices have significantly increased over the past two decades, and for many, buying or renting separate housing has become an unmanageable task. Many families are forced to manage a joint budget to cover basic needs such as housing, food, healthcare, and education. This compels young people to stay in their parents' homes or return after attempting independent living. Another reason young people are hesitant to leave their parental home is the need to help care for younger siblings or elderly relatives. Cultural and upbringing factors also play an important role. In many countries, there is a belief that the older should take care of the younger, and this influences the decision of young people to stay with their parents. Living with parents can be both economically beneficial and a source of conflict. In New York, for example, a couple sued their 30-year-old son, demanding that he leave the house. The parents won the case and now live separately, not expecting to meet with their son.
