Abstract

Some young people return to the family home once they are independent, a phenomenon known as boomerang. The boomerang phenomenon refers to the return of youth to the family home after a period of independence. This article aims to analyse the factors that influence the decision to return, the ways in which this occurs and the profiles of young Andalusians who return to the family home. A survey of Andalusian youth (2017) prepared for the design of the 3rd Comprehensive Youth Plan of Andalusia has been analysed. The results show that certain variables and situations experienced increase the probability of return - being a woman, the intention to continue studying, having been a victim of violence or consuming certain drugs on a regular basis - while others decrease it - increasing age, higher level of studies, having a permanent contract, having a stable partner or having a descent.
