Number of UK adults living with parents on rise


New figures show more than a quarter of British adults aged between 20 and 34 live with their parents amid high joblessness, soaring rents and strict mortgage criteria.
 
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a total of 3.3 million young adults remained in the family home in 2013, which is 669,000 people more than the figure in 1996, when ONS began to keep records.

The rise comes despite the fact that the number of young people in the UK remains almost the same as in the 1990s.
