      Normally when I pop in to see my parents, my mum bursts out of the house with a big smile. Not

today. "Your brother," she says, "he's showered twice this afternoon. Does he know how much it costs

to run this house?" Are we limiting water now? I didn't think the recession(萧条) had got that bad. My

poor brother is a boomerang kid. Like 60 percent of guys immediately after university, he's back at

home. Graduating ￡15,000 in debt and faced with unpaid internships(实习期) or low wages thanks

to the flooding of the market with graduates, a lot of twentysomethings simply don't have the necessary

income or parental support to live independently.

     Three years after getting their degree, most graduates are still not earning above the average salary.

They have a near 50 percent tax burden, thanks to student loan repayments and council tax on top of

income tax and national insurance. Unless you have parents who can afford to finance what is effectively

a second home for them, returning to the parental nest is often the only affordable option.

     The boomerang effect is becoming even more pronounced thanks to the recession. One in four of

those losing their job during the downturn is under 25. Only 13 percent of final-year students have jobs.

Home is the only place many are going: 111,000 16-29 year olds moved back home in 2008, five times

the average of previous years.

     Boomeranging is bad news. It poses serious problems for parents' finances. They've already

supported their children through university, topping up loans with handouts, averaging ￡12,300 in total,

to keep twentysomethings afloat. Now their retirement savings are being eaten away by continuously

dependent children.

     It’s bad for the returning kids too. Ambitious young people will be left frustrated, seeing their

university peers from more wealthy backgrounds excel only because parents' money was there to

support them through the initial period of poverty wages. Those living in rural areas are further

disadvantaged by lack of access to cities where most new jobs are located. Half of all young people

now feel they will not achieve their goals. Research by the Prince's Trust reveals that one-quarter of

all 16-25 year olds are regularly down or depressed. And depression does not help self-motivation,

the very trait needed to seek out job opportunities.
