4.3.2. Intergenerational co-residence

Though similarly to construction support, determinants of intergenerational co-residence were also not examined in detail earlier, a few studies drew attention to the specific characteristics of young adults staying in the parental home. In the 1980s, Vajda and Zelenay (1984), and Rédei, Salamin and Újvári (1984) identified significant differences by profession and location in the share of people living independently after marriage or leaving the parental home. The percentage of the population living independently in towns (Budapest not included) and settlements is 60% according to Rédei, Salamin and Újvári (1984, p. 166) and 69% according to Vajda and Zelenay’s (1984, p. 10), but in Budapest they only amount to 50% and 60% respectively. The same figure decreases by occupational status, except for households with a head in agricultural employment, which is higher than managers and intellectuals (Rédei, Salamin and Újvári, 1984, p. 167; Vajda and Zelenay, 1984, pp. 123–124). In contrast, examining intergenerational co-residence after marriage, Róbert (1986, pp. 152–154) did not find a strong correlation between intergenerational co-residence, and socio-economic status or place of residence.

If Rédei, Salamin and Újvári (1984, p. 166), and Vajda and Zelenay’s (1984, p. 10) findings are correct, two factors posed obstacles to young people’s independent household formation: residence in Budapest and low socio-economic status. In villages, self-build provided easier access to housing at the time, while the advantage of managers and intellectuals consists of better access to housing units built by the state construction industry due to their good connections and higher salaries (Konrád and Szelényi, 1969). Town-dwellers may have profited from both the relative abundance of public housing and the tradition of self-build.

The regime change altered the distribution of co-residence by the settlement type of residence. Most probably due to housing privatisation benefitting urban dwellers, in Budapest and big provincial towns the share of young adults living independently was the highest, while it became less common towards the bottom of the urban hierarchy (Székely, 2002, p. 121). At the same time, low socio-economic status (exemplified by disadvantaged position on the labour market) of young adults continues to positively affect the likelihood of intergenerational co-residence (Medgyesi and Nagy, 2014). In this sense, the weak and gradually changing effect of settlement type and the strong effect of socio-economic status of parents on intergenerational co-residence is assumed.
