Twentysomethings find no place is like home
Fewer jobs, recession and expensive housing delay their departure
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A new analysis details something a lot of parents already knew: Young Americans are hanging around home longer and are more likely to move back once they finally do leave.
Delayed departure from the parental hearth reverses a trend of younger and younger independence that had been under way since the 1920s, according to a report by the independent Population Reference Bureau, which uses data from several earlier studies.
The 1990 census, for example, found that 21 percent of all 25-year-olds living in households were living with their parents, up from 15 percent in 1970.
Traditionally, young people leave home "to get married, to get a job, to go to college or join the military," said sociologist Frances and Calvin Goldschneider of Brown University.
But today's young adults "came of age during recessions, tight job market, slow wage growth and soaring housing costs ... and amid the confusion of roles and behavior created by the gender revolution."
In short, today's twenty-somethings "have been having a difficult time with their transitions to adulthood," and they find no "calling" to leave home.
Their study: "Leaving and Returning Home in 20th Century America," focused on people aged 18 to 30. The Goldschneiders analyzed the 1990 census, studies of 60,000 people who graduated from high school in 1980 and 1982, and a variety of historical information.
At the same time the share of women turning 18 who left home for school rose from 10 percent in the 1930s to 28 percent in the 1980s and those leaving for other reasons — jobs and independence for example
Historically marriage was the primary reason women left the parental home, reaching 68 percent for women turning 18 in the 1930s. But that share fell to 49 percent in the 1960s and 33 percent between 1980 and 1987.
— climbed from 22 percent to 39 percent.
For young men, marriage was never the primary reason for leaving home, peaking at 40 percent before 1930 and falling to just 10 percent by the 1980s. Departure for school rose from 17 percent in the 1930s to 36 percent in the 1980s.
Plague transmitted by cats on the rise in Southwest
The Associated Press
They found that sons are more likely to return home than daughters, with men coming home, at least for a while, after military service or college.
ATLANTA — Cats that roam newly suburbanized areas in the Southwest are a growing source of human plague, federal health officials warned yesterday.
Before 1977, domestic cats were not known to transmit human plague, the national Centers for Disease Control reported.
But since then, they have been identified as carriers in at least 15 cases.
Dogs also may be infected by dead rodents or fleas, but they usually don't fall ill and transmit the disease to their owners.
Cats can pick up the disease from infected fleas or rodents and pass it on when they bite, scratch or lick humans. And if an infected cat has mouth lesions, even its breath can transmit the plague bacteria.
The increase in cat transmission to humans is linked to the suburbanization of the Southwest, where the plague is commonly found, said Kenneth Gage, acting director of the CDC'splague section.
"People are moving out,building
"People turn their cats out, and then they bring infected fleas or a dead rodent back to the house."
new houses or setting up mobile homes," he said. "They have a junk pile or a wood pile outside where rodents live, right at their house.
Since 1944, 362 cases of human plague have been reported. In the first decade of reporting, the disease was found in only California, Arizona and New Mexico. But during 1948-93, the disease was reported in 13 states as the bacteria moved eastward to Texas and as far north as Montana.
He recommended that residents of newly suburbanized areas of the Southwest keep the area around their houses clear of trash, treat pets with flea powder and keep them from roaming freely.
Plague is unlikely to spread east of the mid-Plains states because the rodents carrying the bacteria — including the deer mouse, rock squirrel and prairie dog — don't live outside semi-arid regions. Gage said.
Any pet owner who suddenly falls ill with fever, chills, headache, nausea and swollen lymph nodes should seek treatment immediately. Gage said.
Gun sweeps found unconstitutional
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Police must have warrants to conduct gun sweeps in public housing projects, even if residents support warrantless searches, a federal judge decided yesterday.
U. S. District Judge Wayne Andersen last month temporarily halted warrantless searches, calling the policy a "greater evil than the danger of criminal activity." Yesterday's ruling continued that injunction.
The decision was the latest in a battle that has pitted city officials against the American Civil Liberties Union, which argues people don't give up their constitutional rights when they move into public housing.
But Chicago Housing Authority officials contend efforts to stamp out gang and drug activities in all 17
developments are being frustrated by drawn-out legal procedures.
"If you're trying to determine where gunshots are being fired from, it wouldn't serve law enforcement or anyone well to run to the judge's chamber, get a warrant and then come back to look for the shooter," agency spokesman Steve Canvey said.
Violence last summer prompted the agency to ask police to conduct random, door-to-door gun searches. The ACLU responded with a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the estimated 150,000 tenants.
Gang warfare last month in the huge Robert Taylor Homes project hammered home the issue. Police said more than 300 instances of gunfire rang out in the 28-building, 12,320-tenant complex during a five-day period.
