There has been a substantial increase in the number of young adults living in their parental home. According to the results of the 1996 Census, 47% of women aged 20 to 34 lived with their parents, while over half of young unmarried men lived at home. A number of factors have influenced this trend: Longer periods of time spent in schooling, higher rates of unemployment and economic instability during the early 1980's and in the early 1990's have influenced young adults towards placing more dependence on parents.
