Information About

Boomerang Generation




Boomerang Generation is a term not uncommonly used to describe the current generation of Young Adults in contemporary western culture, having been born between the years of roughly 1981-1986 and possibly later than 1986.

The term ' Boomerang ' refers to the commonality with which these youth choose to move back home with their parents after a brief period of living on their own (or to never move out in the first place), and take advantage of a financially liberal lifestyle wherein one can uphold a moderately-paying job and afford a more luxurious lifestyle. The appeal of remaining at home with one's parents, to this generation, is interchangeably appealing to the idea of being liberated from the immediate family, which makes it unique from previous generations. This has also put parents in an awkward situation where they have great difficulty understanding why their children would not rather move out.
