Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Empty nester behavior refers to the change in consumer behavior that results from children leaving home. As parents no longer need to prioritize their spending on necessities for their children, they may start to indulge in luxury purchases such as expensive vacations, home renovations, or luxury goods. This shift in behavior is driven by changes in their household situation and priorities, rather than reinforcement, selective retention, or physiological needs.
