Our chronic lack of homes that young people can genuinely afford to rent or buy is at the root of the problem
UK
More than 5,000 people were surveyed by YouGov for housing charity Shelter.
According to the survey of 5,379 people, 41% do not believe their children will ever be able to save up for a deposit to get on the housing ladder.
Yet I'm faced with a choice between living with my parents in my mid-thirties, or paying rents I can barely afford while somehow finding a huge deposit for a mortgage.”
Of those living at home, 59% said it was harder to develop new relationships because of their domestic situation.
"There's no doubt that young people are grateful to be able to live with mum and dad to save money, but we have to question whether it's acceptable that this is becoming the norm for people to live at home into their mid-30s - when we know that they are desperate to be independent and make their own way in the world."
