Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists (社会学家)。 Family ties in south Europe - Italy, Portugal and Greece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Key for Understanding。
In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized said Minguez.
In Spain - especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews (外甥/侄子) all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.
Parents tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules.
A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain hell put up a fight and call the father a fascist, said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos I11 University in Madrid.
Mothers willingness to do childrens household chores (家务) worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso, a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest, 28, has a girlfriend and a job. But life with mum is good.
His mum does the wash and cooks for him; in the end, he lives well, Masso said.
