România, pe primul loc în UE la locuințe supraaglomerate pentru tineri

Rising housing prices and rents are causing young Europeans to stay at home longer, with an average age of 26.2 years for leaving parental homes in 2024. Southern and Eastern Europe show the highest ages for leaving, with Croatia at 31.3 years. Over 80% of young people in several countries live with parents or contribute to household income. The housing crisis is impacting democracy, prompting calls for affordable housing to be recognized in EU law. Young people are more likely to live in overcrowded households, with Romania having the highest rate at 58.3%. The burden of housing costs varies significantly across EU countries, affecting young people's living situations.
