Some links: http://www.transad.pop.upenn.edu/resources/growup.html http://www.transad.pop.upenn.edu/resources/growup.html Quote:"In Italy, more than half of all young men live with their parents until age 30. Katherine Newman and Sofya Aptekar, in their chapter in The Price of Independence, trace the transition to adulthood in Europe, finding that youth there are responding to high housing costs, less stable jobs, and higher unemployment by living at home longer." High housing costs. Less stable jobs. Higher unemployment. Bam! How do you become an independent adult and start a family against that backdrop?
