n° 427, October 2006
Leaving the parental home is not a final separation. In France, 43% of adult children see their father or mother every week. From the student’s "homecoming" to the regular visits of the independent adult,these encounters are shaped both by choice and by constraint. Using data from the French version of an international survey on family relationships, Arnaud Régnier-Loilier has calculated the frequency of contacts between parents and children, and the variations between men and women, professionals andmanual workers, only children and members of large families, etc.
