Stable share of young adults living in the parental home
The 2011 Census of Population showed that 42.3% of the 4,318,400 young adults aged 20 to 29 lived in the parental home,Footnote 1 either because they never left it or because they returned home after living elsewhere.Footnote 2 This proportion changed little from 2006 (42.5%). However, it was higher than in preceding decades: 32.1% in 1991 and 26.9% in 1981.
