Young Adulthood

Young adulthood, typically spanning ages 18 to 40, is a developmental stage characterized by establishing independence, career beginnings, and often forming long-term relationships. During this period, individuals focus on personal growth, identity, and achieving major life goals such as pursuing education, building careers, and forming families. It is also a time of self-discovery, increased responsibilities, and developing emotional and social maturity. While experiences vary widely, young adulthood generally marks a transition from adolescence to more stable, adult roles in society.
