Why Youth Move Back Home
The MacArthur Research Network on Transitions to Adulthood has launched a new site offering commentary by members of the on the changing nature of young adulthood today. The inaugural commentary, "30, the new 20?" by Network Chair Frank Furstenberg, insightfully outlines economic and demographic issues driving 20-somethings to move back home. Furstenberg notes, however, that our culture's emphasis on self-reliance and abhorrence of dependency leads to "blaming" youth who seek or accept help from their families-and castigating parents who provide help to young adults who in an earlier age might have been out on their own. Readers are invited to post their comments and feedback at http://www.transad.pop.upenn.edu/blog

The Research Network on the Transitions to Adulthood http://www.transad.pop.upenn.edu/index.htm was established in 2000 to examine the changing nature of early adulthood, and the policies, programs, and institutions that support young people as they move into adulthood. Significant cultural, economic, and demographic changes have occurred in the span of a few generations, and these changes are challenging youths' psychological and social development. The Network is documenting these cultural and social shifts, and exploring how families, government, and social institutions are shaping the course of young adult's development.
