Figures from Eurostat have revealed the average age at which young people leave their parent's house in Europe. At the top of the list is Montenegro where the nest is generally flown at the ripe age of 32.5. This is also indicative of the trend that young people in the more southern nations tend to stay with their parents for longer, with Croatia, Slovakia and Italy all at the top of the ranking. At the bottom, the north of the continent is represented by Finland, Denmark and Sweden.

These Companies Are Testing Self-Driving Cars in California

Apple's Autonomous Driving Ambitions California, a hotspot for self-driving research and development, recently published a list of how many autonomous vehicles are currently registered for test-driving in the sunshine state. Surprisingly Apple, an industry outsider, is second on that list with 55 vehicles approved for testing on California’s public roads. The Cupertino-based company hasn’t done any autonomous test-driving last year, according to the DMV’s database of mandatory autonomous vehicle disengagement reports for 2017. Read more.

Tourism Accounts For 11% Of Spain's GDP

Tourism Accounts For 11% Of Spain's GDP  Some countries feel the impact of holidaymakers more than others and according to recent OECD data, Spain can always expect a healthy economic boost from its tourism industry.

All of those visitors spent a whopping €87 billion, according to the Spanish government. Given those figures, it comes as no major surprise that the Spanish tourist industry is crucial to the country's economy. The OECD's report entitled "OECD Tourism Trends and Policies 2018", found that in 2016, tourism accounted for 11 percent of Spain's GDP. Read more.

The EU's Current Long Term Budget

The EU's Current Long Term Budget  The European Commission has said that the €1 trillion budget from 2014 to 2020 is equivalent to each of the EU's 440 million citizens buying one cup of coffee a day. Broken down, 39 percent of the current seven-year budget is allocated for sustainable growth and natural resources. That includes agriculture, rural development, fisheries and the environment. 34 percent is set aside for economic, social and territorial cohesion. That takes into account research and innovation, IT technology, small and medium sized enterprise, transport, employment and climate change among other factors. Read more.

Gen Z: In search of the optimal shopping experience (IBM. COM)

In search of the optimal shopping experience

Gen Z shoppers are full of surprises. On the one hand, they want what their parents want — seamless delivery of retail essentials, such as value, choice, quality, convenience and availability. On the other hand, as digital natives, they have their own expectations for how they want those essentials delivered. Technology is important to them, but only if it adds value and enhances their shopping experience. And they expect to be able to make that experience uniquely their own. Brands would do well to act now: while only 36 percent of Gen Z shoppers in our study said they had a strong connection to a brand, the number increased to 46 percent among those aged 19-21. The potential benefits are great, but the window of time for winning over this new and important generation is closing fast.
