* This is becoming increasingly common even in Western countries. Many students/grandparents who would be living on their own often move back to a family member's house, be it permanently or temporarily. It should be noted that multi-generation household was the norm for most of US' history. This trend only changed in the aftermath of WorldWarII.
* Modern and predominantly Western practice of moving out of your parents' house on majority is largely a product of widely available affordable housing, cheap rents and high incomes, allowing youths to live comfortably on their own, and thus taking hold only in societies, where all these prerequisites are met, like in North America. This was a trend initiated the immediate aftermath of WorldWarII, when returning veterans prompted the construction of mass-produced housing.

Various cultures have their own takes on this.

* For most Asian cultures, the idea of leaving your beloved parents to care for themselves or in a nursing home is distasteful to put it lightly. It is something of a role reversal. As your parents took care of you, it would be nice if you did the same for them in their old age. Of course, there's no law that says someone ''should'', especially if the parents are capable of caring for themselves or if the children can't afford it. In fact, this is the reason for the One-Child policy leading to an abundance of males rather than females--males, as traditional breadwinners, are considered more likely to be able to take care of their aging parents.
** S'matter of fact, the Chinese authorities are having a freak-out over the loss of respect for one's elders; children go to their parents strictly to ask for stuff, then put their parents and grandparents in nursing homes.
** It's also a reason why the One-Child policy is in the process of being phased out, as otherwise, you have an only child having to take care of not just their parents, but also their grandparents, which places a heavy burden on the child. More children mean more people to take care of the older generations.
* Multigenerational families are also common in South Asia, the Middle East (including North Africa), Mediterranean and Latin American countries.
* The very high birthrate in Saudi Arabia, combined with the traditions there, results in as many as four or ''five'' generations living under a single roof.
* The youngest child in many East African cultures is expected to stay with his parents to care for them and their property.
* In the Eastern Europe, where there was (and often still is) a permanent housing shortage for much of the XX century, it's quite normal for the children to continue living with their parents, as it is often difficult and/or expensive to find a decent place to move out to.
