52% of people ages 18-29 are now living with their parents due to the pandemic, according to Pew.

"He has stayed home and away from his friends this whole time, while she continues to sneak out of the house to have coffee and play cards with her friends," his mother said.

"I get my meals cooked for me. I have people to hang out with every night, so that's awesome," said Gay, who works as a senior social media coordinator for a nonprofit.Before the pandemic, Gay said,"I was coming home two to three times a year for a long weekend, so I see it as a blessing to be able to be with them for so long, when I don't know when or if that would ever happen, because I never lived close by.

"One of the responses" for younger adults"is to move home in order to minimize the loss of lifetime earnings and opportunities," said Bill Rodgers, an economist at Rutgers University. Parents"act as insurance for those who can support it." Sometimes the calculation is simply to get parents used to the idea that a visit home isn't a vacation but a new workspace.

Sometimes it's just, well, awkward. Gay has taken up TikTok since moving back home, and her parents have walked in on her recording skits in her old prom dress, she said."I heard my mom upstairs talking to my dad and saying, 'Leah's filming some kind of video in her old prom dress?' But they supported it and asked to see the TikTok when I was done," she said.

Is bc they can not afford new place?

'No they don't. Everything is great.' Trump has not said yet, but will, in response to this article.

Haha due to the pandemic? Nah, it’s liberal families not challenging their kids to become something meaningful with a trade or a degree that will actually do something beneficial

Due to globalism

So, up what? Like 5% from before the pandemic? I noticed you left that out of the article.

Good, those parents can make sure they exercise their civil duty and VOTE!

From what I’ve read of Covid rates at colleges there’s going to be a lot of sick parents

Since so many colleges were shut down this survey would be more meaningful if it looked at 22 - 29 year olds. This is pretty meaningless since young people were tossed off their campuses

Stay safe and well.

Enjoy your parents While They Are Still Alive

Make America Great Again just like the Waltons during the Great Depression with 3 generation living under the same roof. Going to get worse if Trump elected or steals the election in November and Social Security and Medicare abolished.

What the MSM glosses over is that pro-population growth policies increase demand for housing in cities, making it unaffordable to younger generations. In addition, other policies increase competition for jobs while lowering wages. You may now resume your regular programming.

The proof is in my house right now

In Asia this is normal.

Interesting.

99% of that 52% are Democrats, and make no mistake, they’d be living in their mom’s basement whether there was a virus or not.

Yes! The family unit is back. This will strengthen America and conservative values. Since Clinton was POTUS, Dems have tried to undermine family; abortion, limiting access to church, easing divorce laws etc... Vote Republican 🇺🇸

Bubble wrap parenting is why they live at home can't let them be even slightly uncomfortable

Cool - anyone notice how most kids these days are tots upgrades? 1❤️

Trump’s “booming” economy at work.

The nuclear family was a failed US sociological exercise anyway. Families *should* stay together. Everyone benefits! And yes, I live on my own. In fact I help care for my aunt with MS. She raised me from 12 on. It's the least I could do.

I guess their gender studies professors didn’t tell them what to expect.

Then they will go out partying all night long and bring back death to their parents.

Yeah right...how convinet !

Just the hardcore video gamers, vaping, drug heads...

And 99.999999% of the 52% are weak arse liberals.

iffycanfly And this will set back their parents in their retirement plans. My millennial kid was mostly unemployed for 3 years during the Great Recession. I couldn’t save that entire time. She recovered, only to be laid off again during the Trump Depression. Republicans are killing us.

And it suuuucks

Ugh.

This is not accurate. The 52% of people, ages 18-29, that are now living with their parents is not due to the pandemic. It is due to shutting down the economy - an effort that did little to curb the spread of the Wuhan virus.

Yesss

They were before they are the losers rioting now

The same demo that has never heard of the Holocaust. Wow. Educate yourselves quickly, as Trump is employing the same tactics as Hitler did to control his base (army), incite them, and if you knew history, you would know what comes next. Spoiler: 6 million people executed.

LoL - no, because they weren’t is prepared properly. Spending 1 hour’s salary on a mocha latte for example or a month’s on an iPhone 12

Up from 51.99% previously.

Return to the NuclearFamily.

That’s BS most of them were living at home prior to the pandemic.

And 85 % of parents are not happy right now...

Pandemic is bad but good for what is called FAMILY. Admissions into Sr. Citizen Homes will drop & the young who left home and have now returned will get to compare the pros & cons.

It was happening way before pandemic, the numbers have just slightly went up since covid.

Rioiiiight I’m sure it’s cuz the pandemic and not cuz crab fishing in Alaska never panned out

At least they have an excuse. The pandemic. Their parents, the gen-xers, the biggest losers ever, just never left home until they absolutely had to. Living in Mom's basement until 35 or 40 was perfectly acceptable. Now they vote for Trump.

Most are protesters.

I've seen people moving back right on my block. Government crippling businesses and the workers does come with a heavy price.

Hey they gotta do what they gotta do

I would also say this is one fallout for embracing regressive cultural politics

Protesting pays poorly
