Answer 1

i'm italian too, and i'm going to tell you the truth about this shamness situation.

university is so bad organized that you can get a degree in 10years too, and it's quite the normality. so, we start working in our 30's.

the labour market isn't flexible, there's a totally missing of meritocracy, they all want a fix work. there's a work's law totally disgusting who leads you in a no-future life.

italians don't want sacrifice, for the university, for the work, for a relationship, for nothing at all. italians family want their sons with them all life long.

houses costs much, and if you get your first job when you're 35.......

prices increase each day...

if you stay home with mummy and daddy, you save the few money your are paid for, the mummys are happy, and the guys can go on without responsibility (that's what italian guys want)

you say "until you get married"? married? our marriages nowadays happened about in our '40.

our destiny is to fade away.... :((((

Answer 2

in italy now the houses cost too much!! normally over 2.500€ for square meter out of city, and even 20.000€ for a sq\mt!!!! the pil is something like 21-25.000€ a year for the medium italian so it's very difficult to buy new apartements. but the banks will give u the money, but not all the italians think that it's a good thing

Answer 3

i don't know much of italy but it seems your so interested in it:)
