The effects of age at home leaving and pathways from home on educational attainment

Article Abstract:

Data from the 1986-1987 National Survey of Families and Households suggests that the age and reasons for children leaving the parental home are associated with educational attainment. Children who live with their parents until they are 21 years of age or more, then have a period of residential independence, are more likely to have a higher educational level than those who leave home for marriage or cohabitation. Another association affected 25% of the sample of 6,000. This group, which consists of young people who left the parental home at the age of 17 or 18 to pursue an educational course and did not return, had the highest level of educational attainment.
