Living with Parents: A Look at Young Adults in Australia

This chapter examines census data on young adults aged 20 to 24 who are not studying and capable of earning their own income. It reveals that over half of men and 43% of women in this category still reside with their parents, with specific focus on regions where this phenomenon is more prevalent. The chapter also explores the percentage of men and women aged 25 and above who continue to live at home, as well as the role of family assistance in response to the high cost of property in Australia.
