ROME, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Italy's national statistics bureau said its latest study suggests nearly half of the country's under-40 population still live at home with their parents.
The bureau, Istat, said data collected from Italian citizens between 2003 and 2007 suggests more than 48 percent of Italians between the ages of 18 and 39 share homes with their parents, the ANSA news agency reported Monday.
Officials said the study contains evidence that can be construed as supporting the stereotype of the Italian mammone, or "mamma's boy," with 53 percent of men in the age group living with parents, compared to 42 percent of women.
"The prolonged co-habitation of children with their parents is among the chief problems facing the nation," Istat officials said in a release tying the findings to nationwide problems including low birthrates and economic woes.
