Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic changes are taking place in the lives of young adults in Western industrialized societies. Todays young people often experience less permanency and more movement in a variety of family-related roles, statuses, and living arrangements. Among the most prominent changes is the phenomenon of boomerang kids, young adults returning to the parental home after their initial entrance into the adult world. The Boomerang Age explores the implications of this development in a changing sociocultural, economic, and demographic landscape. The theoretical contributions and empirically based research presented will provide key knowledge on historical and contemporary youth transitions in an international perspective.
