Do Young Mothers and Fathers Differ in the Likelihood of Returning Home? Journal of Marriage and Family 78,5 (October 2016): 1332-1351. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jomf.12347/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): First Birth; Gender Differences; Marital Stability; Parenthood; Residence, Return to Parental Home/Delayed Homeleaving Building on research examining "boomerang" adult children, the author examines multigenerational living among young parents. Returning home likely differs between young mothers and fathers given variation in socioeconomic characteristics, health and risk taking, their own children's coresidence, and union stability. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), the author finds that more than 40% of young parents (n = 2,721) live with their own parents at their first child's birth or subsequently. Mothers are generally less likely to move home than fathers but only when not controlling for child coresidence and union stability. Individuals who live with all their children are less likely to return home, and controlling for child coresidence reverses gender differences, though this association disappears in the full model. Young parents who are stably single and those who experience dissolution are highly likely to return home compared to the stably partnered, with the association significantly stronger for fathers than mothers. |
