“…Earlier home-leaving of daughters in the United States is reported by, among others, Goldscheider and DaVanzo (1985) and DaVanzo and Goldscheider (1990), for daughters in Germany by Billari, Philipov, and Baizán (2001) and Iacovou (2002), in China by Yi et al (1994) and Ting and Chiu (2002), and in Taiwan by Huang (2013). Moreover, previous findings on average age differences between sons and daughters were confirmed.…”

“…In principle, this approach also allows not only first exits but also multiple state changes over the life course. Thus, it captures the prevalence of phenomena such as "boomerang kids" in individualistic cultures (Goldscheider and DaVanzo 1986;DaVanzo and Goldscheider 1990;Kerckhoff and Macrae 1992;Sandberg-Thoma, Snyder, and Jang 2015) and identifies patrilocal living forms in collectivistic cultures (Weinstein et al 1994;Ting and Chiu 2002;Chu and Yu 2010: 40ff. ;Yasuda et al 2011;Chu, Xie, and Yu 2011).…”

OBJECTIVEThis paper aims to explain societal differences in the event of leaving the parental home as part of the transition to adulthood, in the United States, Germany, China, and Taiwan. It proposes bridge hypotheses between societal characteristics such as kinship system and welfare regime and home-leaving behavior, and tests them with nationally representative panel studies. METHODSFour panel studies (NLSY97 for the USA; PAIRFAM for Germany; CFPS for China; TYP for Taiwan) were harmonized for similar cohorts, with an age span of 15 to 30 years. Testing was based on age-specific tabulations of household composition and separate discrete-time event history models. RESULTSThe prevalence of home-leaving is highest in the United States, followed by Germany, China, and then Taiwan. Timing is earlier in the United States than in Germany, and earlier in China than in Taiwan. Gender-specific coincidence of home-leaving with entry into higher education, the work force, cohabitation, and marriage can be conclusively related to differences in kinship system and welfare regime, and regional opportunity disparities.

“…Young people with labour market problems are more likely to return home than young people with regular employment (Nilsson andStrandh 1999, daVanzo andGoldscheider 1990). A contrary result is found by Murphy and Sullivan (1986): In their study young unemployed leave home earlier than employed.…”

“…The relatively small academic literature on returning home tends to relate either to the North American experience or to the last decades of the previous century (Davanzo and Goldscheider 1990;Ermisch 1999;Gee et al 1995;Goldscheider and Goldscheider 1998;Sassler et al 2008;Wang and Morin 2009). Given recent changes in the socioeconomic and institutional contexts within which young adults are making their transitions to adulthood-such as increased higher education enrollment, declining housing affordability, and the continued deterioration and unpredictability of the youth labor market-a more up-to-date assessment is required (Aassve et al 2002;Coles et al 1999;Jones 1995;Sassler et al 2008).…”

Gender, Turning Points, and Boomerangs: Returning Home in Young Adulthood in Great Britain

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The idea of a generation of young adults "boomeranging" back to the parental home has gained widespread currency in the British popular press. However, there is little empirical research identifying either increasing rates of returning home or the factors associated with this trend. This article addresses this gap in the literature using data from a long-running household panel survey to examine the occurrence and determinants of returning to the parental home. We take advantage of the longitudinal design of the British Household Panel Survey (1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008) and situate returning home in the context of other life-course transitions. We demonstrate how turning points in an individual's life course-such as leaving full-time education, unemployment, or partnership dissolution-are key determinants of returning home. An increasingly unpredictable labor market means that employment cannot be taken for granted following university graduation, and returning home upon completion of higher education is becoming normative. We also find that gender moderates the relationship among partnership dissolution, parenthood, and returning to the parental home, reflecting the differential welfare support in Great Britain for single parents compared with nonresident fathers and childless young adults.
