Average Age of Young People Leaving Parental Home in Cyprus
September 16, 2026
Young people in Cyprus leave their parental home at an average age of 27, slightly later than the EU average of 26.3 years. In countries like Croatia, Greece, and Italy, the average age is even higher. Cyprus also has a high youth employment rate of 72.3% for those aged 20-29, which exceeds the EU average of 65.5%. This trend indicates a correlation between earlier independence and higher employment rates in other EU countries. Countries where young people stay at home longer tend to have lower employment rates for young people.
