From Emerging Adulthood to Young Adulthood: The Big Picture

What is emerging adulthood? Lasts from about age 18-25; for many, lasts through the twenties Begins with the end of secondary school; ends with the attainment of full adult status--? Exists mainly in industrialized societies, but growing in developing countries

Social changes leading to emerging adulthood Later ages of marriage and parenthood Longer and more widespread education Birth control, fewer children Acceptance of premarital sexuality, cohabitation

Median Marriage Age (Females) in Selected Countries Industrialized Countries Age Developing Countries Age _____________________________________________ United States 26 Egypt 19 Sweden 31 Morocco 20 Germany 29 Ghana 19 France 28 Nigeria 17 Spain 29 India 20 Japan 28 Indonesia 19 Australia 27 Brazil 21

Five features of emerging adulthood (Based on 300 interviews with American ages 18-29, diverse backgrounds.) The age of identity explorations The age of instability The self-focused age The age of feeling in-between The age of possibilities

The Age of Identity Explorations Trying to find out “who I am” Trying to find a place in the world in love and work Love: searching for a “soulmate” Work: searching for self-fulfillment; money is not enough ---“They pay well, but I hate my job! There’s no opportunity for growth there.” Tamara, age 22, legal assistant.

The age of instability Average number of job changes from age 20-29: Seven

The self-focused age: More independent from parents Not yet tied to others “I think I want to get more in touch with myself. I want to be a little selfish for awhile, and selfishness and marriage don't seem to go hand in hand. I'd like to be able to experience as much as I can before I get married, just so I can be well rounded.” (Rosa, 24 year-old Latina)

Do you feel that you have reached adulthood? “Not absolutely, because I still sometimes get up in the morning and say, ‘Good Lord! I’m actually a grown up!’ ‘Cause I still feel like a kid. I’ve done things like just got up one morning and said, you know, ‘I’m going to Mexico’ and just get up and go. And I should have been doing other things.” (Terrell, 23 year-old African American)

Top criteria for adulthood Accept responsibility for one’s self Make independent decisions Become financially independent

Become financially independent: What do you think makes a person an adult? “I think financial independence has a lot to do with it. Paying your own bills, not going to Mom and Dad and saying ‘Can I have $300 to go to Florida with the guys for spring break?’” (Tory, age 23)

Five features of emerging adulthood The age of identity explorations The age of instability The self-focused age The age of feeling in-between The age of possibilities

The age of possibilities: Do you think your life will be better or worse than your parents’ lives have been? “Better economically. Better personally. I just think by the time my parents reached my age, they'd already run into some barricades that prevented them from getting what they wanted, personally and family-wise. And so far, I've avoided those things, and I don't really see those things in my life. I don't like my job. I'm frustrated about the lack of relationships with females. But in general, I think I'm headed in the right direction.” (Bob, 23 year-old White American)

Implications for financial education: Emerging adulthood –Focus is on identity choices; financial planning can wait Instability = no money… …except for their own enjoyment Self-focused = No obligations to others Feeling in-between = Financial planning is for adults (i.e., later) Age of possibilities = Optimistic to a fault

How is young adulthood different? By age 30, ¾ married, ¾ have at least one child Identity choices in love and work More stability in love and work Less self-focused, more other-focused Feel fully adult Possibilities now realities Now ready for financial planning
