About this title

Synopsis

Traditionally, children have lived in their parents' homes until they were married and ready to start their own families. This book explores a step that many young American adults are taking - setting up a household alone or with housemates.

Review

"A well-organized and meaningful interpretation of data. It is a significant contribution to understanding the changes in premarital residential patterns of young adults."--"Choice"
"The study offers useful insights which can help parents and their children cope more effectively with separation. It also offers useful insights into contemporary family dynamics and will be of interest to all sociologists studying the family today."--"The Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare"
"Provides the most comprehensive examination of the causes of variations in non family living to date, and as such it is important reading for a broad range of social scientists."--William G. Axinn, "American Journal of Sociology"
"A book rich in detail and brimming with policy implications."--Timothy J. Owens, "Contemporary Sociology"
