It's really been the reality for a long time, including for most of the history of the US (where I live and where I encounter most of the handwringing about "irresponsible" young people living "at home".

The boom in single-family homes in the US and the expectation that everyone would be sorted into homeowning nuclear families by 25 or whatever -- that was a mid 20th-century anomaly. And even during the single-family housing boom in the 50s and 60s, working-class people in their 20s still lived with their parents before marriage as a general rule, and often after marriage to save money.

The expectation that you have to have your own home in order to be a grown-up is what's new, historically speaking -- not the suckiness of the economy (though it does suck a lot right now and that's relevant) or the laziness / entitlement / whatever of young adults.

Australia, too, for similar reasons.
