Hittin' the Nest Again: Almost One in Five Gen Y and Z Do It!
Youth Leaving Homes: Six Out of Ten Eventually Return - Sixteen percent of returnees reappear
Hey there! You might find this intriguing - nearly one-fifth of Gen Y and Z folks (19% and 18%, respectively) are known to relocate back to their childhood lairs post-independence! Gen Y, born between '81 and '96, and Gen Z, born between '97 and '12, can't seem to resist the allure of their old rooms!
What gives? Well, it seems that escalating rental prices and a touch of career uncertainty could be the culprits, pushing many young'uns back into their parental homes. In contrast, earlier generations usually got the chance to jump straight into a permanent living arrangement after vacating the nest. Only 12% of Baby Boomers (born between '46 and '64) took a detour home for a while.
Guess how many times the average German granola has packed up and moved? Four freakin' times! Two-thirds of those have handled at least three address changes. Interestingly, the ladies seem to be more restless, moving around more often than the gents. The survey, conducted in February, polled about 2000 folks aged 18 and over.
- Returning to the Parental Home
- Generation Y, Gen Z
- The trend of Generation Y and Z, also known as Gen Y and Gen Z, suggests that a significant number of them, 19% and 18% respectively, move out from their independent homes only to return later to the old folks' house.
- In comparison, generations like the Baby Boomers usually didn't move out and come back to the old folks' house, with only 12% of them taking a brief detour home for a while.
- As multiple address changes are common among older generations, it is interesting to note that the average Generation Y or Z individual may not need to move out as many times (four or fewer) compared to the more restless ladies of the older generations.
