20 years ago, young people left the family nest much faster. Today, they clearly take longer to fly away, notes the survey on families and generations of the Federal Statistical Office published Monday. Indeed, for people born between 1988 and 2007, the median age for leaving the parental home is 23.7 years, compared to 21.9 years for those born between 1968 and 1987.

By the age of 20, 30% of the “elders” had already left home, compared to only 19% for the last generation. The gap persists at age 25 (74% versus 62%), before narrowing at age 30, when almost everyone ends up leaving.

Girls always leave before boys. Half of them left home at 21.9 years old, compared to 23.4 years old for men. At 25, a quarter of them still live with their parents, compared to more than a third of their male counterparts. At 30, only 8% of them are living with mom and dad, while 14% of boys are still playing “Tanguy”.

But the level of training plays a big role, notes the OFS. The less higher education they receive, the more quickly young people leave their parents. And the gap between the sexes widens: half of girls leave around 21.8 years old, compared to two years later for boys. Among graduates, the difference diminishes: the former leave the nest at 22.2 years, the latter at 22.9 years.

Close to parents, physically and psychologically

Even if they no longer live with their parents, a large majority of 20-39 year olds remain nearby. Nearly a quarter (22%) live less than 10 minutes away and 61% less than an hour away. Those who left in less than five years live even closer: 70% are an hour away at most. Those who live in rural areas or with Swiss nationality are also closer to their family than city dwellers or foreigners, according to the OFS. Young people also remain close psychologically: 35% see or speak to their parents almost every day and 80% at least once a week. Women and young parents are the most diligent. The Ticino residents are those who have the most contacts (53%), compared to 39% of French-speaking people and 33% of German-speaking people.

More young people today live alone

After moving, 22% of 20-39 year olds live alone, compared to 18% of their elders at their time. Some 30% share their accommodation with a partner (without children), 38% live with children, while 10% live without a partner or children, but with other people, for example in a shared accommodation.

Young German-speaking (50% at 22.5 years) and French-speaking (50% at 22.8 years) leave the parental home a little earlier than Ticino residents (50% at 24.4 years), the OFS further notes. And compared to young people from neighboring countries (35%) or other countries (31%), fewer Swiss (22%) left home at the age of 20.

tag for the article title.

Compelling Title (H1): Create an attention-grabbing, SEO-friendly title for the article (this will be the content of the

tag). Ideally, this title should incorporate the identified primary keyword or a close variant naturally.
Engaging Hook: The very first paragraph must act as a powerful hook to grab the reader’s attention immediately and make them want to continue reading, especially since there’s no formal ‘Introduction’ section.

Startling Statistic/Surprising Fact: Present a compelling number or unexpected piece of information that underscores the importance or novelty of the trend being discussed.

Key Principles for the Hook (Regardless of chosen strategy):
Must be brief and impactful.
Must be clear and relevant to the article’s core theme (derived from
