| Summary: | Jones (sociology, U. of Edinburgh) examines the historical patterns of teenagers leaving the nest in Scotland, their various paths of establishing a household, their dependence on family and the state, and the implications of reduced state assistance. Steering between the extremes of blaming homelessness and joblessness either entirely on individuals or entirely on the social and economic system, she finds that young people are increasingly returning to parental homes.
