There is no appropriate age to move out. It is not necessary to move out either. What is important that the individual be responsible and contribute to sustain themselves and the family.
Even in the west, moving out was not a universal expectation. African-American communities often still had close family ties. Immigrants like Hispanics, Hmongs, Italians, Greeks often even had joint family situations. Many conservative Christian communities also have a collectivist notion of living together. Now with the recession and higher cost of living, more and more people are living at home with even married couples cohabiting with in-laws, siblings or other relatives.
Whether you are a kid or an adult the following holds true
Good: Be responsible, be actively employed or a diligent student, give a hand with chores around the house, be considerate of people you live with, learn life skills so you can live responsibly on your own whenever the need arises
Bad: Be irresponsible, be a slacker or a bum, sit your ass watching tv or playing video games all day, be unaware of your surroundings, depend on others to cook, clean or do everything for you
