With us it's normal children leave the nest at the age of 18 it always has been that way. Today it's hard to find a room or to rent a place. waiting 20 years is normal if you are Dutch. The elderly live on their own als long as possible it's proved they are better off and are more active if they take care of themselves. Some elderly are send abroad because the children don't have the money to give proper care and you have to work to make a living. It's my believe that in most cases a lack of money is the main reason and after that it's a lack of room (houses are small and not suitable if you can't walk stairs) and like @aneukpineung78 said badly raised cildren/lack of a feeling of being a family.
I am very surprised to hear that parents and children do not live together. While it is not like this in our country. We all live together, our elders also live with us.
By the way, not all children live with their parents. Some save their lives so that they do not have to serve their parents. But there are some people who love their parents very much. They do not let their honor and respect decrease.
In today's era, family means husband and wife and children, and this trend will probably never end. Whereas the real meaning of family should be husband and wife, children, and parents.

The houses are small and there's a max of people allowed to live in a home but parents are also punished by paying more tax since all incomes are one income for the parent and if the child foesn't pay for electricity and food...
And children? They are punished too since there's no way to find a home (unless you are able to buy), you have to pay your health insurance (how without an income?) and more (loan to study for about 34 years) and if your parent dies you have to leave the rented place and end up on the street a problem I and my children face so I told them to keep me alive no matter if I am dead.

I am surprised and also worried after reading this comment that even in this era, restrictions are imposed with such strict conditions. I have heard and read all this for the first time. I do not know much about what injustice and oppression is happening in the world.
But I know this much that my father says that the poor are getting poorer and dying and the rich are getting richer and more powerful.
