Corbis photographs multi-generational households

The economic crisis has given rise to a phenomenon: young people are continuing to live at home or are moving back in after several years. Corbis has captured this trend in photographs.

The tougher the times, the more people move closer together - while young people used to leave their parents' home more quickly, fear of losing their job often prevents them from becoming independent, writes the visual media agency Corbis in a press release. But even those who already have their own apartment and are affected by unemployment flee back into the "nest" of their parents' home. The former "empty nests" are thus becoming "open nests". Multi-generational households are on the rise.
Corbis has translated this trend into numerous images that have found their way into both advertising and the media. The visual media provider for companies in the advertising, marketing and media sectors offers a comprehensive selection of photos and illustrations. Headquartered in Seattle, Corbis has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, providing services to clients in more than 50 countries worldwide.
