Abstract
Youngsters in France tend to leave the parental home increasingly later. Unemployment is one main reason for this new behavior. Unemployment, taken alone, does not have a uniform effect on the intensity of generational relations. The impact of unemployment varies according to the young person's sex and residential situation. Although the influence of unemployment on rates of discussion with parents is uniformly weak among young men, rates of discussion vary among young women according to whether they live in the parental home: Young unemployed women living in the family household have a more intense relationship with their parents than young women on average. The intensification of family relations is found on the mother's side rather than on the father's.
