It bothers me that "adults" are defined as 25-29 year olds. The year-range is sensible for this graphic, but the title is a bit off imo.

Oh, and "home"≠"with parents"! The title sucks :D

Yeah super confusing. I was like home is where your WiFi is. I live at home with my wife and kid. That’s not with my parents. I bet someone who lives with their parents wrote that title.

@meldrik can update the title?

Data is beautiful, the legend and title are awful.

Where do the Scandinavians live if not at home?

Mostly in the woods.

The narrative around living with parents is so twisted. It is not Always a dependent relationship sometimes the parents are the ones that depend on the child. I've lived with my parents my entire life. Because my dad had a cronic disease and my mother couldn't take care of him on her own. I took homeownership responsibilities at 25.

Just chiming in on the social aspect.

The entire point of home is that it's home.

It's fine for children to grow up and have their own, separate from other family members.

But home is still home, or it never was. If home isn't a place that you can go back to, for whatever reason, it was just a hotel room.

Yes, this is playing with words and concepts. If that isn't something you enjoy, move on.

But that concept is important. Somewhere along the way, the idea that the family home is only for two people, and anyone else is living with them came along. And it's a bullshit idea. That's only one way to live, among many, and that way of thinking is depressing as fuck.

Yeah, parents lead the family, though that decreases as children grow. And most places require someone to be named as owner, and that's almost always going to be the oldest people in the household. But that's record keeping and legality, not home. You don't even have to own a house to have a home, though it becomes much more difficult as renter.

Not saying anyone has to live as an extended family in one home, most of them just aren't big enough for that. But the idea that being an adult automatically means you have to leave home is malarkey.

Quality nuance, top work

Title is ugly.

I figured "where you live" is basically the same thing as "home" unless you start getting into stuff like some adults living in hotels all the time because they are constantly on the move and rarely at their permanent address, or adults not considering their current residence their home because they know it's just a temporary place and they'll move soon or they do not like where they live and they don't feel welcome.

Data investigates nothing like that. Instead investigates adults specifically within 25–29 years old who live with their parents, which might be the same place as their childhood home.

Pretty image though.

By the title I thought this would be where within the home do adults spend most of their time. Like I spend most of my time in the study and my wife spends most of her time in the bedroom with some other guy.

How closely does this correlate with GDP per capita? It seems like richer countries are at the bottom and poorer ones are at the top.

[–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

Not that much, it is mainly cultural: https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/gdp-per-capita-ppp?continent=europe

Here in Finland it is quite normal to move out when you get to 18

This data is not beautiful. It's is confusing. Data is confusing.

Our son would rather gnaw off his own arm than come back home...
