This paper focuses the prolonged stay of adult sons in the middle-class parents home, linked to work perspective. Specific social factors pertaining to the world of urban middle-class families can lead to the stay extending of adult sons within the family home. Secondly, there are different representations of the work world expressed by parents and their children. The parents representation is based on the perception of stability and links with employers. In contrast, their children present short-term perspectives and provisional social experiences, characteristic of modern life. So, family life may express a context of ambiguity which allows the separation postponed of parents and sons.Downloads
