Parental support and living arrangements among young adults in Taiwan
Abstract The delay of home leaving and increasing parental support for young adults are issues of increasing concern. However, little is known about the family support for young adults’ housing in non-Western societies. By using age cohort data, this paper examines housing arrangements among young adults in Taiwan as a case study to elucidate how parental resources are related. Unlike the leaving home phenomenon discovered in Western societies, young adults are more likely to stay in their parental homes in Taiwan. Age and gender are less related to home leaving, and young adults’ economic capability is positively related to leaving the family nest. Parental resources, however, are negatively related to home leaving. Furthermore, the multinational analysis indicates that among the various forms of living, parental resources are prevalent in supporting young adults in gaining access to better housing consequences.
