Note no.111 in the Human Capital series shows that the higher the level of education, the later young people leave their family home. This latest issue focuses on the relationship between the labour transition process and the transition to adulthood of those polled in the Bancaja-Ivie Observatory of Young People's transition to the Labour Market. The data indicate that training and transition to the labour market influence the life decisions young people make, such as emancipation from the parental home, forming a couple and the birth of the first child. In addition, more than half of the young people polled (aged between 25 and 29) still live in the family home, with the price of housing being the main reason given. According to the study, leaving the family home and having a partner are more obviously linked in municipalities with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants. The average assessment of family and work is also found to be higher among young people who have experienced some of these life events. The Observatory facilitates the analysis of the differences in young people's life trajectories according to place of residence, gender, age and level of education.
