    The growing study of leaving home in young adulthood in the United States has been hampered by data and measurement problems, which are producing a major theoretical confusion about the role of parental resources in influencing young adults’ leaving home.

    Using Taiwan as an illustration this paper demonstrates how rapidly declining birth rates in countries having a preponderance of young persons will nevertheless result in considerable population growth for decades. Taiwans population will continue to grow for at least 60 years even if fertility rates drop immediately to levels producing about 2 children per family. Taiwans birth rate fell from 42 in 1958 to 28 in 1968; in the same period the net …
