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.
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.
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.

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