EU home-leaving threshold by sex · 2025
Estimated age at which half of each sex no longer live with parents, 2025;27 EU countries plus the official EU aggregate, men-minus-women gaps and a full source extract. Cross-sectional EU-LFS indicator, not recorded move-out dates.
Definitions and limits
Eurostat’s yth_demo_030 indicator estimates the age at which 50% of the population of each sex no longer live in a household with their parents. It uses EU-LFS co-residence status for ages 15–34; it is not an arithmetic mean of recorded moving-out dates.
All 27 EU members are shown. The chart keeps the official EU 27_2020 aggregate separate, selects female and male observations, and orders countries by men-minus-women gap. Source ages have one decimal; subtraction uses Decimal. All 56 selected female/male observations are present and unflagged in this snapshot.
These are cross-sectional estimates. No individual moving-out record, statistical-significance claim or explanation of causes is supplied.
Source API JSON and official news HTML are frozen originals.
