Around 55 percent of people aged 1 8～34 in Spain still sleep in their parents’homes，says the latest report from the country’s state.run Institute of Youth．

Economists blame young people’S family dependence on the precarious(不稳定的)labor market and increasing housing prices．Housing prices have risen 1 7 percent a year since 2000．
Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem，say sociologists(社会学家)．Family ties in south Europe Italy，Portugal and Greece—are strunger than those in middle and north Europe.Said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report“The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth：Keys for Understanding”．
“In general，young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized，”said Minguez．
In Spain，especially in the countryside，it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts．uncles，cousins，nieces and nephews(外甥／侄子)aU living on the same street．They regularly get together for Sunday dinner．  Parents’tolerance is another factor．Spanish parents accept late.night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules．
  “A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants．If parents complain he’U put up a big fight and call the father a Fascist，”said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez．a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.
  Mothers’willingness to do children’S household chores(家务)worsens the problem．Dionisio Masso，a 60-year—old in Madrid，has three children in their 20s．The eldest，28，has a girlfriend and a job.But life with mum is good. “His mum does the wash and cooks for him；in the end，he lives well，”Masso said.
