Transition to Adulthood

The transition to adulthood is a developmental process where individuals move from adolescence into adult roles and responsibilities. This period, often occurring in the late teens to mid-twenties, involves significant changes in various areas, including education, career, relationships, and personal independence. Young adults typically make important decisions about their future, establish their identity, and learn to manage responsibilities such as finances and living arrangements. This transition is influenced by social, cultural, and economic factors and varies widely among individuals, shaping their paths to becoming fully functioning adults within society.
