00:09What is the right age to fly the nest? Well, the answer depends on where you're looking on the map.
00:16In Finland the average is as early as 21, in Denmark it's 22, in Estonia and Sweden 23.
00:23The EU average however is 26. Interestingly it stayed basically the same over the past 20 years
00:30or so without huge fluctuations. In general, people move out earlier in northern, central and
00:37Baltic Europe, while youngsters living in southern and eastern nations stick around much longer.
00:44Take Italy, Spain and Greece for example, where most don't hit the road till they're 30 or more.
00:52Or Croatia, which takes the top spot with 31.5 years on average. However, as it often happens,

01:07young people leave their parents later, such as Greece, Croatia, Spain and Italy, the youth employment
01:13rate is also lower than the EU average. The lowest youth employment rate across the block belongs to
01:21Italy with 47.6%, followed by Romania at 52% and Bulgaria at 52.7%.
