Interesting. Here in Germany it’s always seen as a bit weird if someone still lives with their parents as an adult. But we also don’t have such intense family bonds.
It’s both. It is really more expensive for me as a Greek to live alone than for a German adult in my age, surely. But our family bonds are also stronger in the Balkans/South Europe than in most of the rest of Europe and it is not weird to stay with your parents until after Uni/1st good job. And sometimes even later.
Depends on the region though. In my experience a lot of young families live with tgeir parents in the rural area. Often with the same address but separate apartments.
I think it makes sense. People want to own a house but it’s gotten almost impossible to afford so they do the next best thing and live at their parents house. And then the parents can also see their grandchildren a lot and babysit them. It’s a win win if you have a good relationship with your parents.

I don’t think other countries have intense family bonds. They just have a worse housing situation than Germany. Hello from hell/UK!
