Supporting Youth in the Transition to Adulthood

The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 17, Number 2, 2010

In the fairly recent past, youth transitioned into adulthood rather quickly with most completing school, leaving home, entering full-time employment, and starting families by age 25 or so. Today, only a minority complete these transitions by age 30. This issue examines the causes of these changes, as well as what this means for youth and their families. By understanding this process, those who work with youth can better prepare and support them in making a successful transition to adulthood.
