Hey you! Yeah, you!

(A young man with glasses appears on screen.)

(The man, standing in profile, steps forward.)

Heading home? What is home?

(The young man is now facing forward. He strokes his chin while looking up.)

A room, an apartment, a house…a backpack?

(A bed, an apartment building, a house and a backpack appear on screen.)

Is it yours? Rented? Shared? Your parents'?

(A key falls from the top of the screen and the man opens his hand to catch it.)

(The man turns his head towards the text that appears on screen.)

Home can be many things.

(The man is facing forward with a key in his hand.)

35% of young adults, 20 to 34, are living with their parents.

(A circle made up of several purple and pink dots appears and forms a pie chart.)

StatCan knows because they've asked people like you.

(Silhouettes face the young man.)

Lots of people. Millions!

(More people appear in silhouette.)

(More silhouettes join the group.)
