本文概述了与英国年轻人当代家庭形成模式相关的最新研究和理论。第一部分对当前趋势进行了必要的简要总结，重点关注离开家的最初过程以及该过程的不同结果。第二部分考虑了支撑家庭形成研究的理论模型，首先强调了主导约束模型的定义特征，然后继续研究最近的社会学理论关于晚期现代性背景下社会关系性质变化的潜在相关性。该文件的结论是，虽然经济因素无疑是近期人口趋势的强大催化剂，但也应认真考虑改变当代年轻人对传统家庭形式和家庭生活态度的重要性。
This paper provides an overview of recent research and theorising relating to contemporary patterns of household formation amongst British youth. The first part provides a necessarily brief summary of current trends, focusing on both the initial process of leaving home and on the different outcomes of that process. The second part considers the theoretical models which underpin research on household formation, highlighting first the defining characteristics of dominant models of constraint, before moving on to examine the potential relevance of recent sociological theorising on the changing nature of social relationships in the context of late modernity. The paper concludes that whilst economic factors have undoubtedly acted as powerful catalysts for recent demographic trends, serious consideration should also be given to the importance of changing attitudes towards traditional forms of household and family living prevalent amongst contemporary youth.
