Phénomène Tanguy

“The growing trend of stay-at-home adult children”

Who would have believed a decade ago that today almost half (44%) of adults in their twenties from Western nations would still be living with their parents? We once viewed “moving out” as a logical step to adulthood. What are the reasons behind this drastic societal change? Part One: Who are the stay-at-home children? How are they perceived? What are the family dynamics at work? Part Two: Why do young second-generation immigrants often tend to leave the family nest only when they marry? Part Three: While some parents are glad their adult children continue to share the family home, others experience this co-habitation as a daily nightmare.
