Summary/Abstract: The prolonged relation between young adults and their parents is not a new phenomenon in sociology, as it could be observed as an inseparable element of social reality across all the epochs. Long-term sociological and demographic research in West European countries and America indicates that living with parents in spite of one's maturity is attractive, which is why the level of acceptance for this trend is rising. What can we say about young adults in our country? Are Polish families affected by the crowded nest syndrome? What is the socio-demographic profile of nesters (age, gender, education, financial situation, etc.)? What are the key reasons for nesting? A general observation of attitudes among young people in Poland and of studies quoted in the paper indicates that the changes in behaviour among young individuals entering adulthood and in families as such are very far-reaching.
