Indian Gen Z Moves Out While Staying Close to Family
Why Indian Gen Z Is Moving Out While Staying Closely Connected To Family · freepressjournal.in

Some young adults in India are choosing to live in their own homes, even when their families live nearby.

They say this helps them make their own routines and decide how to use their time.

Yogita Nair moved a short distance from her family to feel more independent.

She still uses some of the ways of doing things she learned at home, while also making changes of her own.

Aryahi Kulkarni also lives close to her parents.

She visits them on weekends and helps keep track of their medical appointments.

For them, living separately does not mean they want to stop being close to family.

They are finding a way to have their own space and stay connected.
