Currently young Spaniards cannot even get the idea of achieving emancipation before the age of 30, in fact, the average is situated at 30.3 years, according to the study. In this sense, Castile-La Mancha, Aragon and Cantabria lead the ranking of autonomous communities in which fewer people managed to become emancipated in the second half of 2022, according to a study published yesterday by the Emancipation Observatory of the Spanish Youth Council (CJE).
Aragon presented 13.8% of emancipated young people in the second semester of 2022, Cantabria 13.7% and Castilla-La Mancha 12.3%, being the community in which fewer people managed to leave the family nucleus.
According to the study in Aragon, figures were recorded that had not been obtained for two decades. One factor that helped these numbers was the decrease in employment among the young population. If at the end of 2021 46.4% were working; a year later, only 42.2% did so.
Cantabria was the second autonomous community with the fewest emancipated young people in Spain at the end of 2022 with 13.7%. Only 43.0% of young people were working or unemployed, compared to 47.2% of a year before.
As for Castilla-La Mancha, it was the AC with the lowest proportion of emancipated people in the second semester of 2022: 12.3%. This could have been reflected in the increase in long-term unemployment, unlike what happened in Spain as a whole. 33.7% of all young unemployed people had been looking for work for more than a year.
