Correlation does not imply causation. One of the lowest-fertility/highest living-with-parents countries on the map has people living with parents because of a multigenerational family culture. People have been living with parents for generations, and having kids just fine.
Living with parents doesn't carry the same stigma as in the US or Western Europe.
The reasons for low fertility have nothing to do with living with parents there. They have everything to do with complex and rapid social changes following the fall of communism which are too long and complex to get into.
I actually agree with the overall conclusion *in the US*, and likely in other parts of the world. However, the argument seems flakey.
