抽象的。这项研究跟踪青少年从青年时期过渡到独立生活的过程。我们关注一个很少被研究的问题：为什么有些年轻人喜欢群体生活，而不是独自生活或与父母一起生活。这种选择很重要，因为群体的规模对住宅单元的需求有重大影响；每个住宅的年轻人越多，总需求就越低，人口密度就越大。我们的研究还增加了对哪些因素影响青少年离开父母的家时选择目的地的了解。实证测试使用多项 Logit 框架内的离散风险模型来允许不止一种可能的状态转换。我们发现，经济变量对是否退出大群体还是小群体的决定几乎没有影响，而社会人口变量则很重要。我们还测试了一个新的推拉假设，发现随着年轻人到了二十多岁，经济变量对离开父母家庭的可能性的拉力就会增加。
Abstract. This study follows teens through young adulthood as they transition to independent living. We focus on a little studied issue: why some youths live in groups rather than alone or with parents. This choice is important because the size of the group has a substantial impact on the demand for dwelling units; the more youths per dwelling the lower is aggregate demand and the greater is population density. Our study also adds to the knowledge of which factors influence youths' choice of destination as they leave the parental home. The empirical testing uses a discrete hazard model within a multinomial logit framework to allow for more than one possible state transition. We find that economic variables have little impact on the decision of whether to exit to a large versus a small group, while socio-demographic variables matter. We also test a new push-pull hypothesis and find that the pull of economic variables on the probability of exiting the parental home increases as youths reach their mid to late twenties.
