Drawing an unfavourable contrast between the position of students
and graduates with that of their baby boomer parents has become a
staple for media comment. Indeed, student indebtedness and
difficulties in finding graduate jobs and housing typically
contrasts markedly with their parents' experiences. Broadening the
investigation, 'Helicopter Parenting' and 'Boomerang Children'
depicts how students and graduates are now likely to be close to
their parents, receive considerable financial and emotional support
from them and, upon graduation, return home. Using qualitative data
from two interview studies of middle-class families, this title
explores the impact of these changes on young people's transition
to independence and adulthood and on intergenerational and
intragenerational equality. This enlightening monograph will appeal
to undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in fields
such as Social Policy, Family Sociology and Education.
