Summary
There are both economic and cultural issues why young people would opt into living with their parents. But with today's housing affordability crisis, the number of young people living with their parents has gone up 33%. This has contributed to the rise of the trend known as stay-at-home sons, made popular by influencer, Luke Parkhurst, but there's also a cultural aspect behind the stay-at-home sons movement. On this episode of Really? no Really?, Jason and Peter sit down with journalist, Shane O'Neill, who reported on the Stay-At-Home Sons trend for the Washington Post. Shane will provide us with his insight into how this trend started and how influencers like the Stay-At-Home Sons Club have been creating & monetizing content about living with their parents. Jason, Peter and Shane also highlight that with the demise of print media, it could lead to more people having to move back in with their parents. We'll let Shane elaborate more on that and how during COVID we saw a peak of young people moving back in with their parents. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
