Yeah I’m sure this will do wonders for the country
To be honest i live at home and I dont plan to move out because I refuse to share a house with strangers and due to my work hours dont have time to really have a home
Whats the point of moving out if your only awake in your house for two hours a day?

Probably somthing to do with rent being like £1300 a month for shit houses. You need a partner and combined income just to live in a bog standard area these days.

1. no quality jobs
2. Being shamed by cultural norms for living with parents
3. Dating market is awful due to online apps so many never feel the joy of a relationship
4. Cost of living crisis
5. Told they are the most privileged group in society
6. Watched their parents have an easy go at it by comparison yet often parents will give them grief due to ignorance.
Media : why are men angry? They probably just incels.

Not really a surprise, have you seen housing costs relative to salaries

I’m 35 and moved out when I was 18, rented until I was 32 then bought
For me I had to, living with my family wasn’t working
But buying while renting is difficult, so I fully understand staying at home and at least trying to put together a plan to buy without £1500 a month going on rent and bills
But then again, feels like buying is a pipe dream for so many. People talk about the deposit being the barrier, I think it’s affordability. X4.5 your salary isn’t much to work with when the average wage is like 33k

Not everyone has that option, I don’t. I fear I’m going to be living in a house share for the rest of my life.

34 and only just moved out this year as it was the earliest I could buy in the south east

I’d be interested to know why the rate for young women is so much lower. Is it because they get ahead earlier in life? More likely to find an older partner to live with? Less likely to compromise on their independence?

I didn’t spot it in the article, does anyone know what the suggested reasons are why men are more likely (35%) to live at home than women (22%)?Â

Its adults in general having to live with their parents, houses are stupidly expensive to buy, rent is extortionate due to parasite landlords buying up all the sub 100k starter homes and renting them out for £550+ p/m.
2025 28.7% of adults (20-34) live with their parents.
33.7% of men and 22.1% of women (20-34) live at home still.
People want their own space without space sharing with a bunch of strangers, miles easier to share your space with parents than a bunch of randoms in house share or HMO.
So glad managed to move out, got grating living with parents even though it was cost free.

I could give a million reasons why. So instead of doing that, i’ll just say this. Young people are being constantly fucked over and the people with power don’t care. This is their way of saying survival of the fittest.
Those smart, hardworking or have rich parents will survive. Rest will get wiped out. That’s how the wealthy and powerful see it. Even jobs aren’t secure anymore, companies are getting creative to cut people out. Yet no one will help young people. and young men especially do not even get a glance at, so what did they expect.

Is there anything really wrong with this so long as the men in question and their parents are content with each other? It’s company and gives the guys in question the option to save – for a house, for a rainy day or just because. Maybe they also help support elder parents.
Cost of living, ridiculous rents, etc. Those are bad things. But the constant shock horror that young people aren’t doing what we have decided they should be doing is tiring.

Now include those that are entirely in council housing funded by the government because if it wasn’t for that they would be living with parents too so more like 2 of 3 men.

A lot of jobs don’t pay a livable wage anymore. Let’s say you work in a supermarket and work full time, your absolute best case scenario for moving out is living in a shared rented place. Long gone are the days of supporting a family and buying property on one average income. You have to be a high earner, or sacrifice saving for years and not doing much/ living at parents to be able to have a chance at buying or living alone

Young people today – live at home with parents
– dont pay rent.
– come home and put a new audi financed a3 on the drive that cost half their monthly wages.
– proceed to act like they made it on insta

Everyone always takes the mick out of me and my wife for living at home with my Mum and brother, but I actually like living at home and feeling like a big family. We split all the bills, own the house and do things together.
It’s a shame this is so frowned upon, because whilst it’s not for everyone, it is quite nice. If we ever have children, they get to see their Grandma and uncle every day.

63% of men under 30 are single whilst just 34% of women under 30 are single and INCREASING
Young women now out earn young men in the UK by a big margin and INCREASING
Far more young women in further education than young men in the UK and INCREASING
Young men under 30 far more likely to live with parents than young women under 30 in the UK. Figure for men increasing rapidly whereas for women it is recently DECREASING, more young women are starting to MOVE OUT
We live in a society where it is MEN who stay in their parents’ homes doing nothing collecting dust and where it is WOMEN who leave the home and getting the jobs, getting paid, experiencing life at its fullest haha
Clown world. And it’s only going to get WORSE

20-35… 35?! How is that a young man? That’s a middle aged man, surely.

I’m a woman but im in the process of moving back home w my mum. It financially is the best decision for both of us.

It’s a perfect storm of insane rent, stagnant wages, and a social stigma that just piles on. No wonder so many are stuck at home when the alternative is financial suicide. The older generation really doesn’t grasp how different the game is now.

It is weird they can’t use this data to infer why this is happening.

As someone in my thirties, it’s nice to be referred to as a ‘young’ man again.

I’m 29 and live at home. I have enough to buy my own place and a decent job. But why should I move out just to be alone? At least I have my parents I can talk to. Given up on dating and just focused on the gym, going to concerts and gaming. I’m content and expect never to get married or have kid.
