Young women become independent and move earlier from their childhood home than young men, according to Statistics Finland's family statistics.
Nowadays, nearly one-third of men still live with their parents at the age of 20 to 24, while only 18 per cent of women have the status of a child at that age.
Six per cent of men aged 30 have the status of a child in their family, three per cent of women.
The share of young people aged 20 to 24 living at home has fallen clearly in the past twenty years, but in recent years, the share has evened out to around one-quarter, the statistics show.
Young people leaving their childhood home is described by the number of persons aged 20 to 24 with the status of a child in the family.
In 2014, the relative share of young people with the status of a child in the age group even grew.
The growing share of young people with the status of a child is probably connected to them leaving home later in life and moving back home as per the data.
In 1995, as many as 42 per cent of those aged 20 to 24 had the status of a child, but at the end of 2014, the share was just 25 per cent.
In June 1994, an act entered into force entitling everyone to choose their official municipality of residence.
