Discuss the trends of leaving home among emerging adults of different ethnic backgrounds in the U.S. How does this compare to those in European countries? Include pros and cons of "leaving the nest" in your answer
What will be an ideal response?
Most European Americans move leave home in their early 20s, but it is much more common among Latinos, Blacks and Asian Americans. Reasons include more emphasis on family as well as higher unemployment among African Americans and Latinos.
- About 40% of emerging adults return home after leaving, usually this is an economic way to figure out what to do next during a time of many transitions. Emerging adults in European countries live with parents longer (especially those in Italy), but they are less likely than their American counterparts to see this as a problem.
-Pros of leaving include more independence and opportunities to explore new places; cons include higher conflict and less privacy.
