The plight of the younger generation, and the challenges this poses to intergenerational relationships, is a key issue for contemporary society. In this timely and fascinating book, two very experienced researchers tackle this central issue head-on. Using evidence from their own studies with middle class parents and their student/graduate children, we are given new insights into the realities of juggling finances and in/dependencies between the generations over time, providing an interesting account of the resulting dilemmas and tensions. This important book should be key reading for policy makers and politicians, as well as parents and young people, along with youth and family studies scholars, and anyone concerned with the future of younger generations.

Helicopter Parenting and Boomerang Children

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 more 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 peoples 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.

Overview

The position of young adults is at the forefront of the debate about intergenerational equity, equality and fairness. In particular, their situation in relation to key indicators such as lack of affordable housing, shortage of graduate jobs and increasing student loan debt has raised, for the first time since World War II, the issue as to whether young people will do as well over the course of their adult lives as their parents have done.
