Is it true that Greek children stay at home until full into adulthood?

Question

My teacher from Greece said that he thinks it's weird how Americans move out as soon as they turn 18. That people in Greece stay at home until they're like almost 30. That sounds crazy. I remember reading that about Italians and Japanese people too, though.

Any Greek people here?

Answer 1

yeah its the same in italy. My brother left home when he was 32. You wanna know why? Employment is extremely bad and pays low wages therefore hosues & rents are expensive. You usually go live with your boyfriend/girlfriend because its cheaper that way (by sharing everything). Its extremely hard to find a good job that pays decent money.Also the problem is: low wages high housing. it just doesnt add up.
