Abstract

Billari F. C., Rosina A., Ranaldi R. and Romano M. C. Young adults living apart and together (LAT) with parents: a three-level analysis of the Italian case, Regional Studies. This paper introduces the notion of living apart together (LAT) with one's parents as a status in the transition to adulthood. LAT with parents is defined as the situation in which young adults who reside with their parents spend a significant amount of that time living outside the parental household. Young adults who LAT with parents are described and the determinants of LAT are analysed with reference to Italy. The relevance of this phenomenon is documented for Italy, a country with one of the highest share of young adults cohabiting with parents and with fundamental subnational differences both on higher education provision and in the labour market situation. Official survey and census data are analysed and a multi-level statistical model is used to analyse the determinants of the LAT choice, with individuals, households and municipalities as levels.

Les jeunes qui vivent a la fois separement et a la maison: une analyse a trois niveaux de la situation en Italie, Regional Studies. Cet article cherche a presenter la notion de LAT (living apart together - autrement dit, vivre a la fois separement et chez ses parents) comme position sociale au passage a l'age adulte. On definit LAT chez ses parents comme la situation ou les jeunes qui habitent chez leurs parents passent une proportion non-negligeable de leur temps en dehors de la maison de leurs parents. On decrit les jeunes qui vivent chez leurs parents et en analyse les determinants pour ce qui est de l'Italie. On decrit l'importance de ce phenomene pour l'Italie, un pays qui comprend une proportion de jeunes adultes qui habitent chez leurs parents parmi les plus elevees et dont les differences infranationales quant aux services d'enseignement superieur et a la situation sur le marche du travail sont fondamentales. On analyse des donnees officielles provenant des enquetes et des recensements de la population et emploie un modele statistique a plusieurs niveaux afin d'analyser les determinants du choix de LAT a partir des individus, des menages et des municipalites. LAT Quitter la maison Jeunes Modeles a plusieurs niveaux Italie Billari F. C., Rosina A., Ranaldi R. und Romano M. C. Getrenntes Zusammenleben zwischen jungen Erwachsenen und ihren Eltern: eine dreischichtige Analyse des Falls von Italien, Regional Studies. In diesem Artikel fuhren wir den Begriff des getrennten Zusammenlebens mit den Eltern als Zustand wahrend des Ubergangs in das Erwachsenenleben ein. Wir definieren getrenntes Zusammenleben mit den Eltern als die Situation, in der junge Erwachsene, die bei ihren Eltern wohnen, einen erheblichen Teil ihrer Zeit ausserhalb des Elternhauses verbringen. Wir beschreiben junge Erwachsene, die mit ihren Eltern getrennt zusammenleben, und analysieren die Determinanten des getrennten Zusammenlebens anhand des Falls von Italien. Wir dokumentieren die Relevanz dieses Phanomens fur Italien, ein Land mit einem der hochsten Anteile an noch im Elternhaus wohnenden jungen Erwachsenen und mit grundlegenden subnationalen Unterschieden hinsichtlich des Angebots an hoherer Bildung und der Situation auf dem Arbeitsmarkt. Wir analysieren offizielle Erhebungs- und Volkszahlungsdaten und ermitteln mit Hilfe eines mehrschichtigen Statistikmodells die Determinanten fur die Entscheidung zum getrennten Zusammenleben auf den Ebenen der Einzelpersonen, Haushalte und Gemeinden. Getrenntes Zusammenleben Ausziehen aus dem Elternhaus Jugend Mehrschichtige Modelle Italien Billari F. C., Rosina A., Ranaldi R. y Romano M. C. Jovenes que Viven Juntos Separados (VJS) con sus padres: Un analisis de tres niveles en el caso de Italia, Regional Studies. En este ensayo introducimos la nocion de Vivir Juntos Separados (VJS) con los padres como un estado en la transicion hacia la edad adulta. Definimos el estado VJS con los padres como la situacion en la que los jovenes que viven con sus padres dedican mucho tiempo viviendo fuera del hogar de los padres. Describimos a los jovenes que VJS con sus padres y analizamos los determinantes de los VJS en Italia. Documentamos la importancia de este fenomeno en Italia, un pais con un indice muy alto de jovenes que cohabitan con sus padres y con importantes diferencias subnacionales tanto en la dotacion de estudios superiores como en la situacion en el mercado laboral. Analizamos un estudio oficial y datos de censo y utilizamos un modelo estadistico de varios niveles para analizar los determinantes de la opcion VJS con los niveles de personas, hogares y municipios.
