Nearly 4 In 10 Young Adults In Malta Still Live With Their Parents, Eurostat Reveals

Around 37.1% of young adults aged between 25 and 34 in Malta were still living with their parents in 2025, according to the latest figures from Eurostat.

This means that nearly four in every ten people within this age group in Malta continue to live in their family home, placing the country above the European Union average of 30.1%.

However, Malta's figure has actually decreased from 39.2% in 2024, representing a drop of 2.1 percentage points.

Across Europe, the differences are significant.

Croatia recorded the highest percentage of young adults living with their parents at 62.3%, followed by Greece at 56.3% and Slovakia at 54.3%.

Meanwhile, countries in northern Europe recorded considerably lower figures, with just 3.9% in Denmark, 4.0% in Finland and 7.5% in Sweden.

Other Mediterranean countries also recorded relatively high percentages, including Italy at 50.7% and Spain at 50.2%, both considerably higher than Malta.

The figures highlight the different living arrangements of young Europeans, with housing affordability, cultural traditions, employment circumstances and family relationships potentially influencing when young people decide to move out.

It is also important to note that Eurostat's figures include certain young adults temporarily living away for work or studies who remain financially connected to their parents' household.
