本章分析了台湾20岁出头的年轻人离开家的模式。它还研究了离开家的经历和个人自主之间的联系。它认为，自主性和依赖性并不相互排斥。相反，相互依赖的概念更好地描述了年轻人的过渡过程。根据台湾青年离家的不同经历，我们建构出三种离家类型：离家者、留守者和留守者。本研究利用台湾青年研究计画的纵向调查资料，观察成年早期离家的动态过程。结果表明，在成年早期，基于性别和地区的离家率存在差异。此外，来自白领家庭的年轻人比来自蓝领家庭的年轻人更有可能离开家（而不是留在家里或回家）。然而，父母对同居的偏好在解释20岁出头的年轻人的离家行为方面并没有发挥重要作用。最后，离开家的地位和经济独立都提高了自主的可能性，降低了依赖感。
This chapter analyzes the patterns of leaving home among Taiwanese young adults in their early 20s. It also examines the association between the experience of leaving home and individual autonomy. It argues that autonomy and dependency are not mutually exclusive. Instead, the concept of interdependency describes young adults’ transitional process better. Based on the different experiences Taiwanese young adults have when leaving home, we construct three home-leaving categories – leaver, stayer, and returner. Drawing from longitudinal survey data of the Taiwan Youth Project, we observe the dynamic process of leaving home in early adulthood. The results suggest that there are differences in rates of leaving home during early adulthood based on gender and area. In addition, young adults from white-collar families are more likely to leave home (as opposed to staying or returning home) than those from blue-collar families. However, a parental preference for coresidence does not play a significant role in explaining leaving home behavior for young adults in their early 20s. Finally, both leaving home status and financial independence enhance the likelihood of autonomy and lower the sense of dependency.
