Dutch boys don’t leave home until they are 24.2 years old, on average, according to new figures from the European statistics agency Eurostat.

Girls leave slightly earlier, at 23.2 years of age.
Nevertheless, the Dutch are among the youngest in Europe to leave the family nest, the figures show. Finnish youths are the first to branch out on their own, with an average age of 23.1 years.
But men in Bulgaria, Slovenia and Slovakia live at home the longest, not leaving their parents until they are 31.5 years old on average.
The Eurostat figures also show that the Dutch unemployment rate among youngsters with basic levels of education is the lowest in Europe, at just 6.4%.
