Economic factors could be to blame as more adults return to the family home
A survey has found a third of Britons aged 25-39 are still living with their parents.
However this is unlikely to be due to laziness - although one in 10 say
they still live at home because their parents clean up after them,
economic factors, such as widespread unemployment and rising costs of
living, could be to blame.
Research by Confused.com also showed that a quarter admit they lack basic skills for living on their own and nearly half of men leave their laundry to somebody else to do.
