39 feels too high, but yeah, it's one of the worst, and depending on the statistic the worst outright, in Europe.

In 2022 the average was 30 years https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/d...

A significant factor in that, beyond cultural ones, is the fact that it's quite expensive to buy/rent, especially given the high youth unemployment



These unemployed folks could literally be building their own homes with the right institutional policies and support.


On which money?


The power of debt and helping an economy grow faster than the debt growth rate. A healthy society has a good roi, Italy is dying as is.


Debt is tool for making citizens obedient and always voting for system that they benefit from.

If you refuse to participate on debt system, you have no choice than share property with parents so I'm not surprised.


Debt just means young families can have a place to live now while they pay off over time. No one can afford upfront housing…


So debt (to what anyway if currency doesn't store value) is default state for living?
