Being pressured to move out of your parents' home ASAP is largely an American phenomenon I think. Maybe parts of Europe as well?

In many parts of the world, the point where you are expected to (and socially pressured to) move out of your parents home is marriage. Of course there are exceptions, like moving to a faraway city for a job, etc.

Whereas I see many American youths bleeding away their income on rent and expenses while living 10 minutes away from their parents' home.



It is the weathly countries where people move out younger.
