dc.description.abstractThe age at which children leave the parental home differs considerably across countries. Wepresent a theoretical model predicting that higher job security of parents and lower jobsecurity of children may delay emancipation. We then provide aggregate evidence whichsupports this hypothesis for 12 European countries. We also give microeconometric evidencefor Italy, the single country for which we have access to household-specific information on jobsecurity and coresidence. It is a very interesting case to study since, in the late 1990s,approximately 75% of young Italians aged 18 to 35 were living at home and they had only a4% probability of emancipation in the subsequent 3 years. We show that this probabilitywould have increased by 4 to 10 percentage points if their fathers had gone from having afully secure job to becoming unemployed for sure.en
