As
can happen in the field of social science, my research curiosity
in the growing phenomenon of young unmarried adults in their
twenties and beyond continuing to live with their parents was
piqued by listening to a some-what overwhelmed colleague describe
a series of repetitive events in which one adult offspring was
constantly moving in and moving out. The trend line was indeed
upward, and I have been investigating the increasing percentages
of young unmarried adults living with parents from the mid 1980s,
and the factors that underlie such trends. My most recent projects
look at the differences between immigrants and their offspring,
comparing them to groups that are further removed from the migration
experience. I also am examining the growth in the percentages
of common-law and married couples who are living with parents.
