Generația cu cheia în buzunar, dar fără casă: de ce tinerii români pleacă tot mai târziu de acasă

Young Romanians are leaving home later, averaging 27.4 years, due to economic challenges and changing cultural attitudes. Many face financial constraints, with some returning home after job losses. The rising cost of housing exacerbates the situation, as young adults struggle to afford independence. In Romania, the gap between those who can afford to move out and those who cannot is widening, influenced by regional disparities in housing costs. The lack of affordable housing is a broader European issue, and employment rates among young people correlate with the age they leave home. Countries with higher employment rates see younger individuals moving out sooner.
