La génération boomerang : devenir adulte autrement

Abstract

The aim of this article is to understand an increasing phenomenon, the return of young people to their parents’ home. The sociological analysis model of youth and of “becoming adult” has been about the questioning of the moment of becoming an adult (getting employed, living independently, becoming a parent, living with another) or about the moment of becoming self-reliant and independent. It is necessary to take into account the return as part of the process. The analysis of the return allows to seize young people's trajectories and to emphasize family solidarity and the statutory dimension of family.
