Through both recession and recovery, the share of young adults living in their parents’ home continues to rise. Today’s young adults are also more likely to be at home for an extended stay compared with previous generations of young adults who resided with their parents, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. census data.
As of 2016, 15% of 25- to 35-year-old Millennials were living in their parents’ home. This is 5 percentage points higher than the share of Generation Xers who lived in their parents’ home in 2000 when they were the same age (10%), and nearly double the share of the Silent Generation who lived at home in 1964 (8%).
It doesn’t appear that a lack of jobs is keeping Millennials at home. As of the first quarter of 2016 (when the living arrangements data were collected), only 5.1% of older young adults were unemployed, down from 10.1% in the first quarter of 2010. Yet the share of 25- to 35-year-olds living at home rose during that span, increasing from 12% in 2010 to 15% in 2016.
The living arrangements data are based on the Census Bureau’s Annual Social and Economic Supplement, collected in March. These data also serve as the basis for the nation’s long-running statistics on geographic mobility. Using the mobility information provides some insight into the extent to which the nation’s young adults are moving in and out of certain living arrangements. (The supplement does not accurately capture moves to and from college dormitories and may not accurately estimate the mobility of a population likely to live in a dorm. That is why 18- to 24-year-olds are not included in this analysis.)
Millennials – whether living with their parents or not – are moving significantly less often than earlier generations of young adults. Among 25- to 35-year-old Millennials who were living at home in 2016, 91% reported that they resided at the same address one year earlier. This does not preclude the possibility that the young adult moved out and “boomeranged” back in the intervening year (perhaps multiple times); the data simply indicate that they lived with their parent or parents one year earlier as well.

It is not at all healthy. The social media access in the form of mobiles, tabs, laptops and alike. This is the real start to next generation onslaught of metabolic disease leading to obesity as the real curse further causing diabetes, hypertension, heart issues and cancer. So its wrong.
A sedentary lifestyle is a type of lifestyle with little or no physical activity. A person living a sedentary lifestyle is often sitting or lying down while engaged in an activity like reading, socializing, watching television, playing video games, or using a mobile phone/computer for much of the day. Physical inactivity may increase the risks of certain cancers. Physical inactivity may contribute to anxiety and depression. Physical inactivity has been shown to be a risk factor for certain cardiovascular diseases. People who engage in more physical activity are less likely to develop coronary heart disease. Regards
I think living a sedentary lifestyle is a reflection of laziness. It has however been proven that, certain health challenges have been linked to a sedentary lifestyle. As such, it should be avoided completely.

TV an internet addictions. A very big world opens when they open internet where they develop a taste for some unwanted things where they like to spend majority of their time. Visual media definitely takes them away with curiosity.
Attached is a paper I wrote for a course eight years ago on this topic of emerging adults continuing to live at home.
