NEARLY two million young working adults are stuck at their parents’ home because they cannot afford to buy or rent a home of their own, Shelter revealed yesterday.

The charity’s analysis of census data uncovers the effect of the housing crisis on people aged between 20 and 34 — dubbed the “clipped wing generation.”

Sarah has been living with her parents in Croydon for the past 10 years while trying to save for a deposit.

She said: “I know I’m lucky to have a job and somewhere to live, but the thought that I’m going to be living like a teenager into my late 30s or even 40s is really disheartening.”

Shelter chief executive Campbell Robb told the Tories to stop ploughing money into their failing Help to Buy scheme and take “bolder action that will meet the demand for affordable homes and not inflate prices further.”
