The following article explores the issue of ‘boomerang kids’.

These are adults who move back home to live with their parents having originally moved away. As a boomerang kid myself (I moved back in with parent’s when I graduated from university and also later in my twenties), I can understand the tensions that arise from the situation.

The situation is affected by expensive house prices (rents and mortgages), unemployment and poor job prospects.
