Millions of adults in Britain are moving back home to live with their parents – because they cannot afford to live on their own after a divorce, a new survey has found.
The research, conducted by Churchill Insurance, revealed that more than seven million Britons, known as 'doomerangers', have been forced to move back into their parent's house following a break-up as they can no longer afford to live on their own.
A total of 505 people were surveyed, and of those, a quarter admitted they had moved back in with their parents following a bad break-up because they needed distance or independence from their ex.
On average, 'doomerangers' will spend six months living with their parents, mostly because of financial pressure – 55% of respondents said this was the case for them. Interestingly, men were found to be more likely to become a 'doomeranger' following a divorce or relationship split, while women are more likely to keep the house, especially if children are involved.
Other reasons for adults moving back home included four in 10 saying they wanted emotional support, while 13% needed help with childcare.
Martin Scott, head of Churchill Home Insurance, is quoted in the MailOnline as saying: "A separation or divorce is an emotionally traumatic experience and sometimes parents are exactly what we need to help us get through these difficult periods in our lives.
"The additional financial strain of having to keep separate properties often means it's easier to move in with family, rather than try and find somewhere else to live."
