Have you ever heard about the "boomerang generation"?

Take a look at these articles:

- Planning to move back home with Mom and Dad? You aren’t the only one

    I hadn't heard about "boomerang generation" before, but now that I know what it is, I would like to go abroad and live some time somewhere else and learn some languages, and after that, I think that I would like to come back.

    Hi Natàlia!

    The concept you understood is slightly different. You would like to do those things, but it would be your choice, you would be very happy to.

    What the idea has to do with is the fact that expensive housing and unemployment are causing more and more "boomerang children" to move back in with their parents, not because they want to, but because they have no choice.

    Can you see the difference?

    Aaaah oh yes yes, sorry! Well I think that here in Spain is affecting too this problem because of the crisis, for example, and in a properly future more people will have to move back.

    Thank you!
