Moving Back to the Parental Home in Times of COVID-19: Consequences for Students' Life Satisfaction.

Residential independence from parents is a key marker for young adults' transition to adulthood.

This paper investigates how a return to the parental home during the COVID-19 pandemic affects the life satisfaction of university students.
