Young men have consistently been more likely to live with their parents than young women have, and that remains true, generally because women marry younger and move out. But now living with parents is on the cusp of becoming the dominant arrangement for young women as well.

年輕男性始終比年輕女性更有可能與父母同住。這一點(diǎn)沒(méi)變，總的來(lái)說(shuō)是因?yàn)榕越Y(jié)婚更早，會(huì)搬出去。但現(xiàn)在，與父母同住也即將成為年輕女性的主要居住安排形式。

“What you tend to see is that racial and ethnic minorities, African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans,especially from disadvantaged backgrounds, are the most likely to be living in their parent’s home and the least likely to have a partner,” Mr. Fry said, adding that financial difficulties helped explain that finding.

“往往會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)少數(shù)族群，非裔、西語(yǔ)裔和原住民，特別是來(lái)自下層社會(huì)的，和父母同住的可能性最高，有伴侶的可能性最低，”弗萊說(shuō)。他還表示經(jīng)濟(jì)困難有助于解釋這個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)。

“So you might think that the growing diversification of the population is what accounts for the shift to living with parents,” he continued. “But that doesn’t explain it, since even among white young adults, about 20 percent lived with their parents in 1960, and about 30 percent in 2014. So even if the population had not diversified,we would still see this large increase in living with parents.”

“于是，人們可能會(huì)以為人口構(gòu)成日漸多元是出現(xiàn)與父母同住這種轉(zhuǎn)變的原因，”他接著說(shuō)。“但它解釋不了這個(gè)現(xiàn)象，因?yàn)榧幢闶窃诎兹四贻p人中，與父母同住者的比例也從1960年的大約20%上升到了2014年的大約30%。因此，即便人口沒(méi)這么多元，我們還是會(huì)看到與父母同住的人大幅增加。”
