Young adults in Europe sometimes have trouble moving away from their parents and obtaining a home of their own, which is considered an important step in the transition to adulthood. This paper investigates whether nest-leaving is affected by individual social capital and parental economic capital. The paper also examines how these resources are related to the type of housing tenure obtained and whether the housing was acquired through informal channels. In addition, the paper assesses whether differences in access and returns to social capital can explain the later nest-leaving of the children of immigrants. The study uses a Swedish two-wave panel survey of young adults aged between 19 and 22. Individual social capital is operationalized as an extensive social network measured with the position generator, while parental economic capital is estimated with registered disposable income. The results show that individual social capital is positively related to prospective nest-leaving, but parental income is not. Nevertheless, both individual social capital and parental economic capital are related to the obtained housing tenure type: social capital is linked to informal ‘second-hand’ rental agreements often acquired through contacts, whereas having high-income parents is linked to obtaining owned housing tenure. The children of immigrants are found to be more likely to live with their parents, but this is not explained by lower access or return to social capital.

欧洲的年轻人有时难以摆脱父母的困扰，无法拥有自己的住房，这被认为是向成年过渡的重要一步。本文研究了个体社会资本和父母经济资本是否会影响巢穴的离开。本文还研究了这些资源与所获得的房屋使用权类型之间的关系，以及房屋是否通过非正式渠道获得。此外，本文评估了获得和获得社会资本回报的差异是否可以解释后来移民子女的窝nest。这项研究使用了瑞典的两波小组调查，调查对象是19岁至22岁之间的年轻人。个人社会资本可以作为广泛的社交网络进行运营，并通过职位生成器进行衡量，而父母的经济资本则以可登记的可注册收入来估算。结果表明，个体的社会资本与预期的离巢成正相关，而父母的收入则与正相关。然而，个人社会资本和父母经济资本都与获得的住房使用权类型有关：社会资本与通常通过接触获得的非正式“二手”租赁协议相关，而拥有高收入父母则与获得拥有的住房使用权相关。 。人们发现，移民的孩子更有可能与父母同住，但这并不能通过较低的获得机会或重新获得社会资本来解释。个人社会资本和父母经济资本都与获得的住房使用权类型有关：社会资本与通常通过接触获得的非正式“二手”租赁协议有关，而拥有高收入父母则与获得拥有的住房使用权有关。人们发现，移民的孩子更有可能与父母同住，但这并不能通过较低的获得机会或重新获得社会资本来解释。个人社会资本和父母经济资本都与获得的房屋使用权类型有关：社会资本与通常通过接触获得的非正式“二手”租赁协议相关，而拥有高收入父母则与获得拥有的房屋使用权相关。人们发现，移民的孩子更有可能与父母同住，但这并不能通过较低的获得机会或重新获得社会资本来解释。
