In recent years the factors influencing young people's
transition to adulthood have become much more problematic. This
edited collection of papers from Pennsylvania State University's
fifth annual Family Symposium explores the main issues involved in
this transition, such as the widening gap between rich and poor,
downsizing, global competition, and technological change. These
factors have made jobs scarce in many areas, especially inner
cities, and have profoundly affected family formation, making
cohabitation, delays in marriage and parenthood, and prolonged
residence with parents, the life choices of many young adults.
These and other issues are explored by scholars from a wide variety
of disciplines, who focus on four main questions: alterations in
the structure of opportunity, prior experiences in the family,
prior experiences in the workplace, and career development and
marriage formation.
