Although the departure of children from the parental home is an important life-cycle event, few studies have investigated nest-leaving in developing countries. Using retrospective data from the Second Malaysian Family Life Survey, we estimate hazard models of nest-leaving in Peninsular Malaysia. We find that the departure of children, especially sons, responds to economic incentives, including housing costs, family businesses, education, and economic growth, and that ethnic differences in nest-leaving are important. We also find that the median age of departure from home has declined sharply over the past 40 years, a period of rapid social and economic change in Malaysia.
尽管子女离开父母家是一个重要的生命周期事件，但很少有研究调查发展中国家的离家情况。利用第二次马来西亚家庭生活调查的回顾性数据，我们估计了马来西亚半岛离家情况的风险模型。我们发现，子女尤其是儿子的离家情况对经济激励因素有反应，包括住房成本、家族企业、教育和经济增长，而且离家情况中的种族差异也很重要。我们还发现，在过去40年里，即马来西亚社会和经济快速变化的时期，离家的中位年龄大幅下降。
