In China, many young people live with their parents before they get married, and some even live with their parents after getting married. When they have children, their parents also help to take care of the children. Other young people choose to rent an apartment or buy a house to live on their own. To purchase a house, they can choose to pay all at once, or pay in installments through loans. Families without high income can apply for the purchase of economy housing or rent low-rent houses, which are subsidized by the government, if they meet certain conditions. These families would also have to wait a while after applying. Although economy housings are generally far away from the city centre, it’s still convenient with the subway.
