> In 2014, 28% of young men were living with a spouse or partner in their own home, while 35% were living in the home of their parent(s). Young women, meanwhile, are actually still more likely to be living with a spouse or partner (35 percent) than they are to be living with their parents (29 percent).
Can someone please explain to me how this works -- if there is an approx equal number of women and men, then at least (35%-28%) = 7% of women are living with a spouse or partner who is NOT a man. If we account for gay couples, assuming there are the same number of female and male gay couples (and in reality there are more gay men couples than lesbian couples), then this difference is still 7% (or greater). So 7% of women are living with a partner who is not a man nor a woman?
I would hazard to guess that a couple that consists of younger woman to older man(that is older than 34, which the research seems to cut off) is more common than the otherwise.

Not sure I follow this research.
