The growing study of leaving home in young adulthood in the United States has been hampered by data and measurement problems, which are producing a major theoretical confusion about the role of parental resources in influencing young adults' leaving home. Does high parental income retain young adults in the home or subsidize their leaving (and parental privacy)? This paper uses the 1984 panel of Survey of Income and Program Participation to clarify this issue, and shows that the effects of parental resources differ depending on the route out of the home under consideration (marriage or premarital residential independence). Effects change substantially over the nest-leaving ages, but relatively few differences are found between young men and young women.
在美国，针对成年初期离家现象的研究不断增加，但却受到数据和测量问题的阻碍，这些问题在父母资源对年轻人离家影响的作用方面引发了重大的理论混乱。高父母收入会使年轻人留在家中，还是补贴他们离家（以及父母的私人空间）？本文利用1984年收入与项目参与调查面板数据来厘清这一问题，并表明父母资源的影响因所考虑的离家途径（结婚或婚前居住独立）而异。影响在离家年龄阶段有很大变化，但在年轻男性和年轻女性之间发现的差异相对较少。
