“…They argue that in the majority of cases, the family lives in the home of the elderly person or persons (Aquilino, 1990) and cohabiting is explained by the characteristics of the children: single adults who were not able to achieve emancipation, or who are separated or divorced and return to the parental home after separation (Ward et al, 1992). Studies from the 1980s and 1990s revealed a changing trend in the lives of young adults: the percentage of those who remained in the parental home longer increased, as did the number who returned home after a period of independence (Glick and Lin, 1986;Goldscheider et al, 1999).…”

“…Argumentan que, en la mayoría de los casos, tiene lugar en la vivienda de las personas mayores (Aquilino, 1990) y se explica por las características de los hijos: solteros que no logran emanciparse y separados o divorciados que retornan a ella tras su ruptura matrimonial (Ward et al, 1992). Investigaciones aparecidas en los años ochenta y noventa captaron un cambio de tendencia en los modos de vida de los jóvenes, puesto que estaba aumentando el porcentaje de quienes permanecían en el hogar paterno hasta edades cada vez más tardías, o regresaban a él tras un período de independencia (Glick y Lin, 1986;Goldscheider et al, 1999).Esa tendencia se dio generalizadamente en los países occidentales y todavía persiste (Sandberg-Thoma et al, 2015; Schwarts y Ayalon, 2015). Las dificultades de inserción laboral hacen que los jóvenes tarden en emanciparse y utilicen el hogar parental como base de operaciones en su transición a la vida adulta (Swartz et al, 2011).…”

ResumenEste trabajo analiza por qué están cambiando en España las formas de convivencia de las personas mayores. En su planteamiento teórico distingue entre dos realidades básicas: la independencia residencial, propia de quienes comparten un hogar bipersonal con la pareja y de quienes viven en solitario, frente a la convivencia con familiares de otras generaciones. A nivel empírico utiliza una estrategia metodológica cualitativa, cuya técnica de producción de información es el grupo de discusión, y de análisis, la Teoría Fundamentada. La hemos aplicado sobre un perfil específico de actores implicados en este proceso social, las personas mayores que viven solas. Nuestros resultados profundizan en los motivos por los cuales la convivencia intergeneracional no deja de ceder terreno a la independencia residencial. Key words AbstractThis article examines why living arrangements among the elderly are changing in Spain. Although this process has been going on for decades, it remains under-examined from a sociological point of view. Our theoretical framework distinguishes between two basic residential forms among the elderly population: Residential independence, which refers to those living in two-person households with a partner, as well as those living alone; and intergenerational cohabitation, in which the elderly live with family members of other generations. We have used a qualitative methodological strategy, using discussion groups as a technique to generate data, and grounded theory as our approach for data analysis. Our analysis is focused on a specific group involved in this social process: the elderly who live alone. Our findings reveal a number of subjective reasons for the continuing growth of residential independence among the elderly in detriment to intergenerational cohabitation. Cómo citarLópez Doblas, Juan (2018 IntroduccIónDesde hace tiempo todos los países occidentales vienen registrando las mismas pautas de cambio familiar. La nupcialidad ha descendido, se han elevado la edad al matrimonio y a la maternidad, han aumentado los divorcios, las uniones de hecho y los nacimientos de mujeres no casadas, ha caído la fecundidad, etc. Todo ello se enmarca en la Segunda Transición Demográfica, en la que los valores culturales desempeñan un papel esencial (Lesthaeghe, 2010). Con respecto a los hogares, objeto de nuestro estudio, los cambios también son enormes. Está reduciéndose su tamaño medio y creciendo el porcentaje de los habitados por una persona sola o una pareja sin hijos, mientras disminuyen los de estructura compleja y la convivencia intergeneracional . En el extranjero, muchos autores destacan a las personas mayores como protagonistas de estos cambios, habiendo impulsado una profunda transformación en sus estilos de vida y sus relaciones familiares. En España, sin embargo, las investigaciones sociológi-cas no han reconocido apenas este hecho, pese a que sus modos de convivencia muestran las mismas tendencias que en otras sociedades occidentales (tabla 1).

“…This occurrence actually strengthens the case for ascribing changes to changes in leaving home and union formation/dissolution. During that decade, the average age of leaving parental home increased and the proportion returning to parental home increased, because of the increase in housing prices and improved standards of living in the parental home (Goldscheider et al 1999). Similarly, the divorce rate has declined since the early 1980s (Bianchi and Casper 2000); given that most divorces happen among young couples below age 30, this trend counteracts the effects of later marriage.…”

Summary Household projections are key components of analyses of several issues of social concern, including the welfare of the elderly, housing, and environmentally significant consumption patterns. Researchers or policy makers that use such projections need appropriate representations of uncertainty in order to inform their analyses. However, the weaknesses of the traditional approach of providing alternative variants to single “best guess” projection are magnified in household projections, which have many output variables of interest, and many input variables beyond fertility, mortality, and migration. We review current methods of household projections and the potential for using them to produce probabilistic projections, which would address many of these weaknesses. We then propose a new framework for a household projection method of intermediate complexity that we believe is a good candidate for providing a basis for further development of probabilistic household projections. An extension of the traditional headship rate approach, this method is based on modelling changes in headship rates decomposed by household size as a function of variables describing demographic events such as parity specific fertility, union formation and dissolution, and leaving home. It has moderate data requirements, manageable complexity, allows for direct specification of demographic events, and produces output that includes the most important household characteristics for many applications. An illustration of how such a model might be constructed, using data on the U.S. and China over the past several decades, demonstrates the viability of the approach.

“…Increasingly, however, adult children stay longer in the parental home (DaVanzo and Goldscheider 1990): in the UK over a quarter of 20 to 34 yearolds live with their parents (ONS 2014). Further, those who leave the parental home are increasingly likely to return on one or more occasions (Goldscheider et al 1999;Furlong and Cartmel 2007). Leaving the parental home, indeed, may be not so much an event as a process, featuring numerous exits and returns (Molgat 2002;Holdsworth and Morgan 2005); it is part of a larger picture of a transition to adulthood which is not linear or predictable, but prolonged, fragmented and challenging (Furlong and Cartmel 2007).…”

Living with the parents: the purpose of young graduates’ return to the parental home in England

Young graduates in England often return to the parental home after a period of living away during their university studies. Little is known, however, about why they return and how coresidence with parents fits within a life trajectory. This paper reports upon an in-depth cross-sectional qualitative study of young graduates' coresidence with their parents. It identifies a five-part typology of the purpose of coresidence as perceived by the graduates: a base camp for exploration before settling into adulthood; a launch pad for careers; a savings bank, in particular for future property purchases; a refuge for respite and reflection; and a preferred residence, whether on account of comfort, cultural practice or to support parents. The paper further explores how far these purposes were associated in young adults' accounts with social structures, individual agency or some combination of these. It concludes that the default understanding of graduates' return and coresidence as a residual function when other options fail is insufficient. Such a generalisation obscures the different purposes which the return can enable; it overplays some notion of a broken biography rather than the positive contribution of coresidence to graduates' trajectories towards adulthood and to their life experiences.
