| Summary: | A study was conducted to examine the variation in home-returning behavior among young Canadian adults. Data were drawn from a subsample of 2,549 young adults aged 19 to 34, using data from the 1995 General Social Survey, Cycle 10. A principal finding, following proportional hazards analyses of the data, is that those whose mother tongue is English are significantly more likely to come back to the parental home than those with other mother tongues. It is noted that other variables include father's education, number of brothers and sisters, gender, age at home-leaving, and initial reason for leaving home. The possible significance for midlife parental roles and responsibilities and for family socialization are outlined.
