When it comes to Education and Income, we can see that over 80% of this group were in employment at the time of interview and that almost 60% has a degree or equivalent education.
Interestingly there was a notable difference in earnings between those with and without a degree.
Those with a degree earned a mid-point weekly wage of €613 compared with €487 a week for those without a degree.
Looking at housing and finances, of those living with their parents, over 60% were doing so for mostly financial reasons, and almost the entire group of respondents were concerned with the housing situation in Ireland.
Of the 25-year-olds who were surveyed, nearly three-quarters reported they saved regularly and just over a third said they had at least some difficulty in making ends meet.
