    Recent graduates in Barcelona cannot afford housing due to low wages and rapidly increasing rental prices. The average rental price per square meter in Barcelona is 19.4€ per month, rising 9% each year from 2018-2022 while wages have only increased 1.6% annually over the past 50 years. For example, a graduate from ESADE university earns only 1,333€ per month while rent for a square meter in Barcelona is around 20€. This issue is urgent as many young people ages 18-25 are forced to continue living with their parents due to inability to afford independent housing.
