The Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest.
Around 55 per cent of people aged 18-34 in Spain still sleep in their parents’ homes, says the latest report from the country’s state-run Institute of Youth.
To coax(persuade gently or gradually)young people from their homes, the institute started a "Youth Emancipation(解放)" programme this month. The programme offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.
Economists blame young people’s family dependence on the precarious(不稳定的)labour market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.
Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists. Family ties in south Europe — Italy, Portugal and Greece — are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Key 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 all 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’ll put up a fight and call the father a fascist(a fascist is someone who does not allow any opposition)," said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.
Mothers’ willingness to do children’s household chores(杂务)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.
What do we learn from the passage?
选项
A、The youth in Spain fully understand liberty and emancipation,
B、People in north Europe are weaker than those in south Europe.
C、Family ties in Portugal are stronger than in Finland.
D、Young people focus more on their private life than their family life.
答案
C
解析
文章第5段第2句提到,南欧各国,如意大利、葡萄牙和希腊的家庭关系比中欧和北欧国家的更为紧密。C)“葡萄牙的家庭关系比芬兰的更为紧密”(葡萄牙是南欧国家,芬兰是北欧国家)与原文意思相符,故为答案。A)在文章未提及,故排除。文中进行对比的是南欧各国和北欧各国的Family ties,而非人们的身体强壮程度,故排除B)。文章第6提到,西班牙的年轻人坚定地认为家庭是主体,私生活围绕家庭有序展开。由此可推知,西班牙的年轻人关注更多的是family life而非private life,D)与之矛盾,故排除。
