The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Melbourne, concluded that the changing nature of family living situations often led to avoidable conflict. Associate Professor Cassandra Szoeke and Katherine Burn, from the University's Faculty of Medicine, Health and Dentistry Sciences, examined both 'boomerang kids' (those who return home) and 'failure to launch' kids (those who never left).
The project reviewed 20 studies involving 20 million people worldwide was published in Maturitas. The research shows:
The shifting economic climate and changes in social norms were driving the phenomenon of kids staying at home for longer.
The main reasons for young adults choosing to remain at home were for stability and additional support while they transition to university or employment.
Divorce, unemployment and health problems often led to children returning. This return under negative circumstances can heavily impact on the wellbeing of everyone in the household.
Parents who are well-educated, married and well-off tend to have children who stay home longer, whereas children who grow up in households with a single parent, or step-parent, or didn't finish high school, tend to leave early.

Not really, you don't seriously think that those folks actually want to be living with their parents, do you? The thing that's changed is that housing is more expensive and jobs pay less than they used to. Things like healthcare are more expensive than they used to be and for a lot of people their own car or other transportation is necessary to get to work.

They are pussies (as GP said), that's why. RL is too difficult for them and they want a job appointment letter before they even leave their parents house.
Housing was always expensive, but you had to make it. Others are living in the same world as you. If they can, why can't you?
Some people are too soft these days and almost always have rich parents (of no fault of their own) and the world owes them a lot, doesn't it? So unless they are given a decent house to live in, a nice car to drive, someone to do the chores and do their laundry, and a fat paycheck, they are not moving out.

Because income is distributed evenly amongst the various jobs?
Oh, wait, no it's not. The good jobs that pay well and have excellent benefits are too limited for everybody to have. Otherwise, everybody would have them.
