No rise in young living with parents

The proportion of young people living with their parents has not increased during the coronavirus crisis, new research suggests.

Those who did move home were mainly low-paid or unemployed, according to a study by the Resolution Foundation.

The report, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, said that despite the impact of the pandemic on some people's living conditions, the proportion of young people living with their parents has hardly changed over the 15 months since the crisis began.

Around one in four 18- to 34-year-old non-students reported living with their parents in June, a small fall compared to the figure in February 2020, said the report. The lowest-paid young workers were more than twice as likely to move in with their parents.
