Transition to Adulthood
In the fairly recent past (the 1970s), young men and women transitioned into adulthood fairly quickly, with most completing school, leaving home, entering full-time employment, marriage, and parenthood by age 25 or so. Today, only a minority of young adults complete these transitions by age 30. What is the cause for these changes? What does it mean for youth and their families, especially those families that are struggling? What is the impact of the transition to adulthood for homeless youth and youth with disabilities? And, what can we learn about the benefits and risks of adolescent employment?

The April 2010 issue of The Prevention Researcher examines adolescents transitioning to adulthood, especially focusing on college and workplace readiness.
