AbstractCo-resident adult children may be a source of emotional and instrumental support for older parents, but also a source of conflict and stress. Results from previous research are far from conclusive and indicate that intergenerational co-residence may have both negative and positive effects on parents' depressive symptoms and physical health. We analyse longitudinal data from four waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (2007-2015) to examine whether returns to the parental home by adult children are associated with changes in the quality of life of parents aged 50-75. Results from fixed effects linear regression models show that returns to the parental home by adult children were associated with decreases in parents' quality of life and that this largely reflected declines associated with the return of a child to an ‘empty nest’ where no other children were still co-resident. In line with previous research which has indicated differing effects of co-residence on parents' depressive symptoms by cultural tradition, this effect was largely driven by decreases in parents' quality of life in a grouping of Nordic/social-democratic. There were no associations between changes in parental quality of life and the returning child's characteristics, although unemployment of a child was negatively, and new partnership of a child, positively associated with changes in parental quality of life.

Abstract The recent trend of young adults returning to the parental home has resulted in a burgeoning field of research. However, a controversy exists concerning the consequences of this social phenomenon for family members. Drawing on life course theory, this paper examines parental satisfaction with "boomerang kid" living arrangements by analyzing data collected from 218 Canadian families who recently experienced this transition "reversal". The main findings suggest that, from the parental point of view, returns to the nest are not typically characterized by dissatisfaction and conflict. Furthermore, parental satisfaction is greater when children reciprocate exchanges of support, are more autonomous, and are closer to the completion of adult roles. In recognition that many parents are experiencing a delay in the transition to the empty nest and an extension of their day-to-day responsibilities for children, implications for theory, parental wellbeing during midlife, and for social policy are discussed. /// La tendance récente d'un mouvement de retour à la maison parental observé chez les jeunes adultes s'est traduite par l'éclosion d'un champ de recherche. Toutefois, il existe une controverse au sujet des conséquences de ce phénomène social sur les membres de la famille. En s'appuyant sur la théorie du cycle de vie, cet article étudie la satisfaction parentale vis-à-vis les modalités de vie des enfants boomerang en analysant des données recueillies auprès de 218 familles canadiennes ayant vécu une telle transition. Du point de vue parental, les principaux résultats suggèrent que le mouvement de retour au nid n'est pas nécessairement source de mécontentement ou de conflit. En outre, la satisfaction parentale est plus grande lorsque les enfants s'engagent dans une relation d'entraide, lorsqu'ils sont plus autonomes et qu'ils sont sur le point de remplir pleinement leur rôle d'adulte. Étant donné que plusieurs parents se voient contraints de retarder leur transition vers le nid vide et d'accroître leurs responsabilités quotidiennes envers les enfants, nous discutons des implications tant au niveau de la théorie, qu'au niveau de la politique sociale et du bien-être parental au mi-temps de la vie. Journal Information The specific objective of The Canadian Journal of Sociology/Cahiers canadiens de sociologie (CJS) is the dissemination of original and significant research and theory produced largely, but not exclusively, by Canadian researchers in Sociology and related disciplines. Our policy is to represent the diversity of theoretical and methodological orientations within Sociology. We also encourage an interdisciplinary focus, with articles and commentaries from demographers, historians, political scientists, economists, communications specialists, and criminologists. The strength of the CJS, above all, has been its unwavering commitment to being a research journal which advances knowledge in Sociology, to excellence, to scholarly diversity, to intellectual exchange and internationality. CJS is a distinctive combination of scientific and theoretical state-of-the-art articles, debate about current research issues, social commentary, reflections on the discipline, plus informative and scholarly book reviews. This combination is not offered by any other North American social science journal, and is unique in Canada. Publisher Information The Canadian Journal of Sociology publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research articles and innovative theoretical essays by social scientists from around the world, providing insight into the issues facing Canadian society as well as social and cultural systems in other countries. The journal also features a lively debate/commentary section encouraging the intensive exchange of ideas, along with regular sections such as “Notes on Society” that address topical issues of the day from a social science point of view and “Notes on the Discipline” designed to discuss a variety of issues encountered in the course of the sociological analysis of modern society.
