EF23097EN Figure 23: Probability of financial strain, EU27, 2022 – regression estimates b. Probability of finding it difficult to make ends meet

Notes: The figure presents regression coefficients and confidence intervals from two logit regressions in which the dependent variables are (i) being unable to afford unexpected financial expenses and (ii) finding it difficult or very difficult to make ends meet. Survey weights were applied in the estimation and the models also controlled for household type and size, economic activity status (employed, student, etc.), highest level of education, gender, degree of urbanisation, tenure type and country fixed effects.

Becoming adults: Young people in a post-pandemic world

During the pandemic, many young people had to change their plans for the future. While at the end of 2023 young people’s labour market situation was more favourable than it had been in recent years, many obstacles remained on their route to independence, such as the rising cost of living and inability to move out of the parental home. This report explores young people’s wishes and plans for the future – and the well-being outcomes related to these plans – in the context of the current labour market and housing situation and progress on the implementation of the EU’s reinforced Youth Guarantee.
