离开父母的家是年轻人住房事业和独立道路上的重要一步。虽然大量的文献研究了生活轨迹如何影响离家，但对父母的生活和当地住房成本如何影响年轻人离开家庭住所的情况知之甚少。通过丰富英国家庭纵向研究与房价数据，本研究探讨了如何父母的属性和当地的住房成本的地理影响离家在当代英国。结果表明，较高的当地房价与延迟离开父母的家，虽然这种影响的相对幅度是温和的。相比之下，父母因素的影响更为微妙。父母的特征对离家建立伴侣关系的可能性影响不大，而父母拥有房屋或与亲生父母共同生活则降低了独自生活或合住的可能性。综上所述，这些研究结果表明，年轻人的居住途径是由家庭环境和当地机会结构的差异所产生的复杂的选择和约束模式所塑造的。
Leaving the parental home is a significant step in young adults' housing careers and pathways to independence. Although a large literature examines how life course trajectories influence leaving home, much less is known about how the linked lives of parents and the local cost of housing shape young people's departures from the family residence. By enriching the U.K. Household Longitudinal Study with house price data, this study investigates how parental attributes and the geography of local housing costs influence home leaving in contemporary Britain. The results show that higher local house prices are associated with delayed departure from the parental home, although the relative magnitude of this effect is modest. By contrast, the effects of parental factors are more nuanced. Parental characteristics have little impact on the odds of leaving home to form partnerships, whereas the likelihood of departing to live alone or in shared accommodation is reduced by parental homeownership or living with both biological parents. Taken together, these findings suggest that young adults' residential pathways are shaped by the complex patterns of choice and constraint that are generated by disparities in family circumstances and local opportunity structures.
