De ce pleacă tinerii din România tot mai târziu de acasă? Băieții se desprind mai greu de „cuibul părintesc” • Newsweek România

Young Romanians leave their parental homes at an average age of 27, with boys departing later than girls. Factors influencing this delay include financial constraints, housing issues, extended education, and job instability. Sociologist Ciprian Iftimoaei notes that while many young people pursue higher education, they often rely on parental support, prolonging their stay at home. Girls tend to gain independence faster due to better job prospects and education, while boys may experience a protective family dynamic, particularly from mothers. Significant life changes, such as job offers in different cities or new relationships, can accelerate the move out of the family home. Overall, the situation reflects broader economic and social challenges faced by the youth in Romania.
