Prozentsatz der Menschen im Alter von 25 bis 34 Jahren, die bei ihren Eltern leben (nationale Durchschnittswerte im Vergleich zu den wichtigsten Regionen)


It’s a joke. Even moreso if you’re unfortunate enough to be a 25-34 year old in any of the major cities. You’re competing against, tech, finance, pharma, public sector workers that are established in their careers when you’re trying to find your way.

What’s with the dip around the crash?

I’m assuming emigrants aren’t included in this?

E: infuriating where the graph starts from Irelands point of view. I’d like to see it from the years earlier

Why was Ireland higher in 2000 than every other place?

Data is clearly wrong. 

Census data from 2022 has 33% of 25-29 year olds living with parents and 15% of 30-34 year olds. 

So for 2022 the number is about 24%. 

They seem to have it above 40%. 

It’s Eurostat data which is poor. 

Was called out by CSO in the past.

Those high stats about young Irish adults living with their parents are actually pretty misleading. Most of these numbers come from Eurostat, which uses a survey called SILC. This survey tracks the same people over time, and because they collected a lot of the data during the pandemic, it caught a massive temporary wave of people moving home and locked it in as the baseline.
Another huge issue is our massive university attendance rate. The survey automatically counts any student supported by their parents as living at home, even if they actually rent a flat or stay in digs near college during the semester. Because it is just a small sample survey and not a full census, these little data quirks end up massively inflating the numbers. The reality of where people sleep every night is totally different.

What’s worse is that I’ve had to take time off work to look after family and the amount of shows on at midday that are about middle class families renovating homes, viewing houses to buy or interviewing irish people that emigrated about how good their lives are abroad and how cheap it is.

It’s completely tone-deaf and demoralising for the average working people trying to make a life here.
People aren’t angry enough about the state of this country.

This is why no one should give a shit about what previous generations tell you. Don’t let them make you feel badly about your situation.

Buying a house at the wrong time is a terrible financial move.

10 years ago people were calling 30-year-olds dead beats if they didn’t own homes. Now nobody cares.

Cohabiting with someone you weren’t married to was still unacceptable to a large portion of the population back in the eighties, it was still normal for unmarried children to live at home back then. Even people who had jobs in Dublin would leave en masse every Friday evening to Mammy down the Country.
