The Boomerang Generation is a subset of the Millennial Generation, and for the purposes of this study includes college graduates, between the ages of 22 and 29 who are single, have full-time jobs and live at home with their parents . This Boomerang segment has become more prevalent recently given changing economic conditions, the growth in multi-generational households and evolving relationship dynamics between today’s young adults and their parents.
