Italy to Pay Young Adults to Leave Parents' Home Earlier
Hoping to reverse a trend of young adults living with their parents until they are approaching middle age, Italy will begin offering payments to see more of them fly the coop earlier, the Daily Telegraph reported Sunday.
According to the report, Italian Finance Minister Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa said the program is intended to spur more young men to move out on their own at an earlier age.
Eight out of 10 Italians under age 30 still live at home with their folks, with the average move-out age 36. Some experts said the trend is costing Italy in growth and innovation.
"Let's get these big babies out of the house," Padoa-Schioppa, who left home at 19, told the Telegraph. "If young people stay with their parents, they do not get married or have any independence."...

Your Post "All you theological philosophers! Maybe they just like Mama's cooking. With all these modern girls just wanting to have fun and not learn to cook, clean and have babies, it's best to drink wine, make love, and go home to Mama who is waiting with a clean house, homemade pasta and fresh baked bread, and wait for the little tarts to get the wild out of them and settle down to become Mama themselves. For this, you have to rant and rave like St. Augustine, or John Calvin? Duh!" _____
Perhaps you think there is nothing wrong with sowing wild oats!!
We do not know what tomorrow will bring—Jesus is coming soon. Heaven and hell are on the horizon. Our life hangs by a thread before Almighty God who is able to destroy the wicked at His will.

Thank the Lord that my kids didn't lumber me with their presence until their thirties.
But like many problems in western society the nations are seeing decline through many ways and means.
The family, motherhood/fatherhood are responsibilities, and the modern generations don't want any responsibility in the same vein as they reject all authority in decent society.
ALL authority comes from God. And since Italy, in common with the rest of europe and Britain, have rejected God and the authority of Scripture law, then He does not bless them, - why should He?
Hag 1:6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes
9 Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. 10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
