New Eurofound analysis shows #minimumwage earners spend an average of 34.8% of their disposable income on #housing, compared to 26.2% for higher earners. This disparity is even more pronounced for young workers. 

Nearly half (48.9%) of young minimum wage earners live with their parents, compared to only 29.1% of their better-paid peers.

This implies that current minimum wage levels are insufficient to support independent living for many young people.
