A point of view from an asian:

1. Until the child gets married. If the family is filthy rich and lived in large mansion, the children are encourage to stay with the family even after married.

2. When the children are ready to leave the "nest", they will do it themselves. Anyway, if the children decided to stay, they will have to provide support to the family in terms of money and effort.

3. There are no such thing as "shielding from responsibility". Adult children can stay with the parents but they would need to earn their own living and support the family. Asian (mainly Chinese) families promote the harmony of living with the parents and while taking care of the parents and siblings. After all, the parents devoted half of their lives to raise and provide the necessary education to their children.

Even if all the children decided to live on their own, they would have to share the responsibility of looking after their retired parents.
