Which Europeans live the most with their parents?
Young adults in souther and eastern European countries tend to stick around longer with their parents, OECD and Eurostat data shows.
EU adults leave their parents’ home at 26 on average, according to Eurostat estimations.
However, the age varies significantly from nation to nation.
In Finland, Sweden and Denmark, they usually move out by the age of 21. By contrast, in Croatia, Slovakia, Greece, Spain, Bulgaria and Italy, this normally doesn’t happen before they’re at least 30.
In terms of overall number of young adults still living with their parents, the shares are particularly high in southern Europe, OECD data shows.
In this dataset, Italy presents the highest proportion of people aged between 20 to 29 that don’t live independently, 80%, followed by Greece at 78%, Spain at 77%, and Portugal at 76%.
In the UK it’s 43%, 39% in the US. Nordic countries Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark have the lowest rates, all below 20%.
Besides Romania, Italy also has the highest rate of NEETS in the EU -15-29s people who are neither employed, nor in education or training, Eurostat data shows.

NATO confirms North Korean troops deployed to help Russia in war against Ukraine
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed on Monday that North Korean troops have been sent to help Russia in its war against Ukraine, representing the “growing desperation” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Rutte told reporters that increasing military cooperation between Russia and North Korea “is a threat” to Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic security.
“Today, I can confirm that North Korean troops have been sent to Russia, and that North Korean military units have been deployed to the Kursk region,” NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told reporters.
Russia is currently fighting back against a Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk region.

Rutte said the addition of North Korean troops in the conflict represents “a significant escalation” in and marks “a dangerous expansion” of “Russia’s illegal war.”
“Over 600,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded in Putin’s war and he is unable to sustain his assault on Ukraine without foreign support,” Rutte said.

Spanish left-wing politician resigns amid sexual abuse allegations
Errejón’s departure is a major setback for Spain’s Sumar coalition, already weakened by declining support, and comes as the country faces heightened awareness around abuse of power in public life.
Íñigo Errejón, a prominent figure from the Spanish government’s junior coalition partner, Sumar, is under investigation for alleged sexual abuse, officials confirmed on Friday following his abrupt resignation.
Errejón, the spokesperson for the left-wing Sumar coalition, announced his departure from politics in a post on X on Thursday but did not directly address the allegations.
The accusations emerged after Spanish journalist Cristina Fallarás shared on Instagram an anonymous post accusing a “well-known Madrid-based politician” of engaging in “psychological abuse.”
Soon after Errejón’s resignation, actress Elisa Mouliaá publicly identified him as her alleged abuser.
“I am a victim of sexual harassment by Íñigo Errejón and I want to denounce it,” the actress posted on X.
The Ministry of Interior reported that a formal complaint had been lodged against Errejón.
In Mouliaá’s police statement, she described the events as occurring in September 2021 during a private gathering at a friend’s home.
According to the complaint, Errejón allegedly behaved violently and engaged in non-consensual touching, leaving the actress “paralysed and unable to react.”
The domestic press said that in a conversation with Sumar’s leadership, he has confessed to “machismo” — a term used in Spain to describe toxic masculinity, but also any form of unwanted behaviour against women.
In the post announcing his resignation, Errejón made a veiled reference to the allegations he’s facing. “Ideological struggle is also a struggle to build better ways of life and relationships — more caring, more supportive, and therefore freer,” he said.
Sumar’s crisis deepens with declining support
Sumar, a feminist-aligned platform, has been facing a significant decline in support in recent elections, leading to party leader and Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz stepping back from her leadership.
The coalition government, already reliant on the support of smaller parties, is now more vulnerable amid this controversy, especially as negotiations for this year’s budget become increasingly complex.
This scandal unfolds against the backdrop of Spain’s heightened scrutiny of abuses of power following last year’s high-profile case involving Spanish women’s national football team president Luis Rubiales.
Errejón, who co-founded the far-left party Podemos before forming Más País, now part of Sumar, had been a prominent political figure for over a decade. Sumar has announced an internal investigation following the accusations.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed his support for women facing abuse while reaffirming trust in Díaz and Sumar.
“This is a very unpleasant moment, but we’ve taken action. This case is particularly painful for a feminist government, but the key is how one responds. As soon as the situation became known, Yolanda (Díaz) acted swiftly and decisively,” Sánchez told journalists.
Meanwhile, the opposition People’s Party has pressed Díaz to clarify when she first became aware of the allegations against Errejón, who had been considered a potential successor for the Sumar leadership.
