Leaving The Parental Home

Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand the articulation of dialogues during the emerging adult's leaving home process including the problematization and tensions involved. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 middle-class young adults, aged 26 to 36, who still lived with their parents in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Several categories emerged from the content analysis, among which three are presented in this article: apprehension concerning the relational space, agreements and negotiations, and the perceptions of leaving the parental home. It was verified that leaving the parental home is a dynamic process negotiated between family members. It became evident that the gains and losses from living together for a long period of time are part of an ambivalent relational environment. The time necessary for the development of parent-children relationship cannot be determined chronologically since it is the time necessary for the subjects to understand themselves at a relational level.

ABSTRACTPatterns of leaving home vary between classes in terms of the reason for the move, its timing, reversibility of the process, and the type of accommodation entered on leaving the family of origin. The association between leaving home and marriage is seen to be weakening as more young people move into single independent housing prior to marriage. The notion of transitional housing is raised, and it is argued that there will be an increasing demand for such housing, characterised by suitable accommodation for the single, geographically mobile young. The study draws upon evidence in the General Household Survey and the National Child Development Study.

Leaving The Parental Home

Mientras en los países de Europa Occidental y Norteamérica la falta de empleo parece retrasar la salida de los jóvenes del hogar paterno, en México inician su transición a la edad adulta incorporándose al mercado laboral. Algunos se insertan en la actividad económica empleándose como mano de obra secundaria y como parte de una estrategia familiar de sobrevivencia, en cuyo caso su inicio en la vida laboral busca ante todo contribuir a la economía familiar y no necesariamente lograr la independencia económica. En tal contexto el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el efecto que ocasiona en los jóvenes mexicanos el iniciar la vida laboral al salir del hogar paterno. Se analiza por separado a los jóvenes que dejan el hogar paterno por iniciar una unión conyugal y a los que lo hacen por otra razón. Excluyendo las características individuales y familiares particulares, se encuentra que la incorporación laboral está relacionada en forma fuerte y positiva con la salida del hogar paterno en ambos tipos de partida, pero es más importante entre aquellos que salen por una vía distinta a la unión en pareja. AbstractWhereas in Western European and North American countries the lack of employment appears to be delaying the age when young people leave the parental home, in Mexico youth begins it transition to adulthood by joining the labor market. Some are incorporated into economic activity by being employed as secondary labor, and part of a family survival strategy, in which case the start of their working lives seeks primarily to contribute to the family economy, rather than to achieve economic independence. In this context, the aim of this paper is to analyze the effect on Mexican youth of leaving the parental home once they start work. Young people that leave the parental home to start a conjugal union are analyzed separately from those that leave home for other reasons. Excluding particular individual and familial characteristics, the author finds that starting work is strongly and positively linked to leaving the parental home in both kinds of departure, but particularly so among those that leave home for other reasons than to begin living with their partners.

Leaving The Parental Home

This article investigates differences between native Germans and Turkish immigrants in the timing of leaving their parental homes in Germany. By using event history models, it is shown that leaving the parental home is closely linked to the intervening life-event of marriage, particularly among Turkish women. Moreover, there are interaction effects of religious norm orientation with gender which differ between native Germans and Turkish immigrants. In contrast to Turkish immigrants, the linkage of marriage and leaving home became much weaker over birth-cohorts with time in the group of German women. Finally, analyses of sequence patterns also show remarkable differences between native Germans and Turkish immigrants in the process of leaving home. Religious norm orientation turns out to be less important in the Turkish group than in the native German group.

Leaving The Parental Home

With the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic all over Europe during the first months of 2020, most of the European governments imposed restrictive measures to people mobility and physical distance (the lockdown), which severely impacted on the economic activities and performance of many countries. Thus, the health emergency turned rapidly into in an economic crisis. The Covid-19 crisis in Europe increased the uncertainty about the economic recovery and the end of the health emergency. This situation is supposed to have conditioned individuals’ life course path with the effect of inducing people to postpone or to abandon many life plans. This paper aims to explore whether the rise of health emergency due to the Covid-19 has delayed or vanished young people intention to leave the parental home during the 2020 in five European countries: Italy, Germany, France, Spain and UK. Using data from an international survey from the “Youth Project”, carried out by the Toniolo Institute of Advanced Studies, this paper implements ordered logistic models in order to investigate the determinants of a possible revision of the choice of leaving the parental home for a representative sample of 6,000 respondents aged 18 to 34, interviewed between March and April 2020. A special focus has been pointed on the Italian case, because of being the first European country to be strongly hit by the pandemic and because of the already economic vulnerable conditions of its young population.Results reports that Italy is the country with the highest rate of downward revisions of the intentions of leaving the nest. In particular, having negative expectations about changes in the individual’s and family’s future income is a key predictor of the choice of abandoning the purpose of leaving the parental home across Europe. However, the vulnerability of the category of temporary workers arises especially in Italy: young people with precarious jobs seems to be the most prone to negatively revise their intentions of leaving, even compared with those not working.

The aim of this article is to investigate the phenomenon of cohabitation in Italy through Istat data on the cohabitation trends in the last decades and the results of a qualitative research, based on in-depth interviews among people who cohabited or married after cohabitation, with or without children. The analysis of the interviews shows that the meaning of cohabitation changes according to the experiences of leaving the parental home and the life course stages crossed by interviewees. Marriage is valued for its legal and functional aspects, as a protection of the less financial independent partner. So it becomes a necessity only if the financial condition between partners is unbalanced in order to redress this asymmetry. If the partner conditions are equal - which is the case of the interviewees - marriage does not add benefits. Therefore all social and religious aspects of marriage are excluded by interviewees who were married or plan to marry only for instrumental reasons.
