After a childhood of overprotection, overindulgence, over-everything, today's young adults are finding the real world a little too real. So they're heading back home - if they left in the first place. Generation boomerang examines the reasons why so many of today's young adults are slow to launch. A tough economy gets much of the blame, but a peek below the surface reveals that this is a generation reluctant to give up the comforts of home. This program focuses on several families living in the Greater Vancouver area, along with families in Ontario, England, and Italy.
