The department found in 1990 that the rate of women aged 15 to 49 who lived with their parents or their husband's parents within five years of being married increased 4.5 percent over 1988. And the younger the woman and the lower her level of education (meaning women with more financial difficulties), the more likely she was to live with one set of parents.
主計處在民國七十九年的調查也顯示，十五到四十九歲的已婚女性，婚後五年內與父母（包括自己的父母或公婆）同住的比例，比七十七年上升了四點五個百分點，且年紀愈輕、教育程度愈低（意味經濟情況較差者），與父母同住的比率愈高。
