Other Key Findings While much of this report looks at to year-olds, it also includes analysis of a broader universe of young adults—those ages 18 to This provides a larger sample size and allows for deeper demographic analysis among young adults.
Educational attainment is linked to living arrangements only for young adults in their early 30s. Among those younger than 30, educational attainment is not correlated with living arrangements. Young adults who are not employed are more likely than those who are working to be living with their parents or to have moved back home temporarily in recent years. The youngest adults—those ages 18 to 34—who are living at home or moved back in temporarily in recent years have a much more positive view than those in their late 20s and early 30s on how this has affected their relationship with their parents.
The to year-olds who have lived with their parents are much less likely than to year-olds to say moving back home was an economic necessity. Parents who say an adult child of theirs has moved back home in recent years because of economic conditions are just as satisfied with their family life and housing situation as are those parents whose adult children have not moved back home. Census data show that during the recession years the share of Americans living in multi-generational households increased more among adults ages 25 to 34 than among any other age group.
Luckily, I am on good terms with my parents but some of my friends are in a difficult situation. Unlike in Asian societies, multi-generations living under a roof remains a rarity in the west, with grandparents usually living away or in care-homes, visited often or less by their children and grandchildren. In , half of year-olds had left their parents homes, but now that happens between the ages of 23 and There are lots of potential reasons for this: young people are more likely to stay in education or training for longer while some might be staying at home to save money to rent or buy a home of their own in the future.
Especially during Masters, when I had to pay for everything out of my own wallet besides the tuition fees. Not to mention the increased difficulties of establishing a career in the midst of a pandemic, which significantly influenced my decision to return home after university.
Besides, I saw an opportunity to save money while looking for work. It has been quite simple to adjust to living with parents after four years of university, since little has changed apart from additional responsibilities. It is not what I had imagined my living situation to be like after graduating. That being said, this situation has effectively been forced on me so my embarrassment is slightly alleviated.
I am at home because of the challenge of buying my first house and getting a job, bit of both. Buying a property as a new graduate is almost impossible as you need to have a well-paid job to be considered for a mortgage. How are we supposed to compete with that? My original plan was to travel for a year or get a graduate job. Single young adults are most likely to be living with their parents in their early 20s 71 per cent , but a majority still live in the parental home in their late 20s 54 per cent , before a decline among those in their early 30s 33 per cent.
A lot of young people will spend almost a decade of their lives living like this. Government needs to respond to this not just by helping people get on the housing ladder, but also ensuring they do not increase the strain on already-stretched families by penalising them through the benefits system. As a start, they should stop deducting housing benefit from parents who live with sons and daughters who do not have sufficient earnings to pay rent. On the one hand, being unemployed or in low-paid work makes it harder to move out in the early 20s, but on the other, parents in more advantaged situations can more easily offer support, and people in their later 20s and early 30s more often return to more comfortable homes.
The decisions about residence are based on highly individual circumstances and needs, which means, for example, that even though better-off parents find it easier to provide for this group of young adults, there are many cases where those with more modest resources end up doing so.
The pandemic has affected young people across the diverse UK population. This is true of working-class Asian families, as often their children have opted for less prestigious academic institutions.
In sharp contrast, the well-off Asian families and the professionals with access to cash and credit lines have been aggressively supporting their children with deposits to purchase first-time properties. The lawyers are snowed under with conveyancing work. Stay up-to-date with the latest financial guidelines and resources here.
For the last several decades, parents have been welcoming their adult children home after moving out for college. The boomerang generation is a generation of young adults who return to live with their parents. In , 54 percent of 18—year-olds and 11 percent of 25—year-olds lived with their parents. While the rate of 18—year-olds living with their parents has stayed relatively consistent, the U.
The rise of the boomerang generation really began following the great recession, with 13 percent of 25—34 year-olds living at home in — a new high according to the census data available beginning in Since , this number has grown to 17 percent of 25—34 year-olds looking to save money at home. This can be an awkward situation for families to maneuver, but with a proper budget and honest financial conversations, it can be a positive move for everyone.

Rising unemployment and record-high student loan debt are leaving many recent graduates without resources to cover the cost of living in major metropolitan areas. Some young adults join the over 3 million U. The national unemployment rate in April reached Additionally, 15 percent of employers plan to decrease their hiring of recent grads, and nearly five percent of college seniors who had received a job offer had their offers revoked following the COVID crisis.
Meanwhile, 22 percent of students and graduates looking to gain experience through an internship had their offers revoked.
