    Is a man still a child when he’s 30?


    Children usually live with their parents – but until what age? 20? 25?
    Stephen Richardson, a social psychologist, studies the lifestyles of young people in Britain and the
    USA. He says that today many young people live at home when they are 25 or more. They are
    happy to live with their parents, go out at night and spend their money on mobile phone and
    designer clothes. It’s not only university students, but also young people who have jobs and earn
    money.
    In many other European countries children leave home later. In Italy, for example, 30% of men and
    18% of women between 30 and 34 live with their parents. This week in Naples a judge decided
    that Giuseppe Andreoli, aged 70, must pay €750 a month to his ex-wife for their son Marco. Marco
    lives with his mother – but he’s not a child, he’s a 30-year-old lawyer!
