As was said by rossdavidh in the comments, "eyeballing the maps, I don't see a great correlation". I suspect this might have something to do with perception of supportive community rather than actual numbers. When to-be parents feel like they are on their own and neither $jobPeople, $friendlyPeople nor $familyPeople are actually going to help, they might be inclined to postpone. Living with parents in a sane multi-generational arrangement might translate to more support and thus more children. Living with parents out of sheer necessity where parents look down on their offspring for not proving themselves in the world probably would not. But that does not really explain scandinavia either.

I want to add a personal anecdote. I recently moved out at 26. Before moving out I couldn't imagine bringing a girl home. You need space and privacy to mate. I certainly want to live closer to my parents but the multi-generational arrangement needs to provide space to live in, I can't share the same flat my parents are living in, come on it's too small. The problem is having a private space, not living with parents. If parents can provide a flat with a seperate entry, even that would work.

    GP states they have no ability to get a +1 while living with parents. I assume that if GP had a well paid job, they would move out to separate flat, rather than move parents into bigger flat. Wouldn’t you?

    The problem is it is substantially harder to purchase real estate than it was 10-20 years ago. If you are thinking of multi-generational housing, shouldn't the family wealth be stored somewhere. You can of course chip in pay rent etc. But wouldn't it be nice to know that the flat is owned by your parents/family. From where I come from, this is a normal arrangement.
