THEY'RE single, smarter and still at home.

Today's young adults are a far different breed to those who grew up in the 1970s, new research shows.

The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) report compared census data in the 18 to 34 age group from 1976 and 2011 and found a large decrease in the number of young adults getting married.

In 1976, 67 per cent of 24-year-olds had been married, however just 14 per cent were hitched in 2011.

ABS Director of Social and Progress Reporting, Jane Griffin-Warwicke says young adults are also much more educated today than their counterparts from 35 years ago.

"In 2011, nearly twice the proportion of young adults were attending an educational institution compared with 1976," she said.

Only five per cent of young adults also had a bachelor degree or higher qualification in 1976, compared to a quarter of young people in 2011.

The number of young women who are employed also has risen substantially, with 54 per cent holding jobs in 1976 compared to 69 per cent in 2011.

The analysis found children are staying in the family home longer, with 29 per cent of young adults living with their parents in 2011, compared to 21 per cent in 1976.
