What is it like to be an adult in the 21st century?

What is it like to be an adult in the 21st century? 

Today's youth face the transition to adulthood in an uncertain and changing social context. Most young people today do not follow the sequence of events that marked the path of previous generations: fill in the programs of study, get a stable work , become emancipated, get married and have children. Does it mean that these traditional markers have been rejected? This workshop will present the results of the project "Transitions to adulthood in the 21st century" which proposes an interdisciplinary framework to study youth and identify the tools that facilitate the development of a mature identity, capable of successfully facing the challenges of adult life. 

workshop organized by the group of research 'Youth in transition on the framework of the challenge ICS 2022-2023 'Young people, relationships and psychological well-being'.
