The demographic shifts seen in recent decades have made the transition to adulthood longer and more complex. Most young people in industrialized societies currently spend more time in education, achieving traditional markers of adulthood – such as obtaining a stable full-time job, marriage, and parenthood – later in life (Arnett, 2015; Buchmann & Kriesi 2011). Arnett (2000) proposed emerging adulthood as a new stage of development from the late teens through the twenties. Accordingly, the period between the end of adolescence and the entry into adulthood is no longer considered a brief transition but rather a distinct period of one’s life course (Arnett, 2015).
