At 26 years old. That is the average age at which young people in the European Union leave their parents' home and become independent.
But the differences between the different European countries are very large. In fact, they range from 32 and a half years old for young people in Montenegro, who are the ones who become independent later, to 21 for Swedes, the first to leave the family home.
This is indicated by the latest data offered on this topic by the European statistical office, Eurostat.
In Spain, which ranks eighth in this ranking if we start with those who leave later, the average age is 29.3 years. In the case of boys, the average age rises to 30.3 years, while Spanish girls are on average 28.3 years old when they leave their parents' home.
