'Boomerang children' refers to young adults, typically in their late teens to early thirties, who return to live with their parents after having previously moved out, often due to economic pressures or life changes. This phenomenon has become more common due to factors such as high housing costs, job instability, or pursuing further education.
In the context of GCSE Sociology, examining boomerang children highlights issues related to family dynamics, economic challenges, and changing social norms within modern societies. Understanding this trend can help students explore the impact of socio-economic factors on family structures and individual life choices.
