Ten percent of adults younger than 35 told the Pew Research Center that they had moved back in with their parents because of the recession.
Among 18-24 year olds, the activity is most acute. 56 percent of men and 48 percent of women in that cohort were either still under the same roof as their parents or had moved back home.
In the Pew study, 13 percent of parents with grown children said one of their adult sons or daughters had moved back home in the past year.
– 20% were full-time students
– 25% were unemployed
– 33% said they had lived on their own before returning home
Those back under their parents roofs blamed the economy for other lifestyle decisions
– 12% had gotten a roommate to share expenses
– 15% said they had postponed getting married
– 14% said they had delayed having a baby
