Compared to the Balkans, Southern Europe? Probably. They have more disposable income to travel instead of babysitting. I'd say they're more financially independent. It's also culture. In Southern and Eastern Europe family is everything. There's pressure from the parents, grandparents onto kids to have children of their own. It's also due to religion (Catholic, Eastern Orthodox) and family values. In Northern Europe (Protestant) once you're grown up, you're on your own.
