What are the five milestones sociologists have identified that define adulthood, why are young people accomplishing them at different points in life today, and how have shifts in these milestones contributed to a recent change in the life stage of young
adulthood?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. The five stages include (1) establishing a household separate from our parents; (2) getting a full-time job so we are no longer financially dependent; (3) getting married; (4) completing our education; and (5) having children.
2. Young people today are accomplishing these stages at later and later points in life. Major structural changes in the economy (including more women entering the workforce and extended periods of education) have contributed to this change.
3. Consequently, young adulthood has expanded so that it lasts later and later in a person’s life.
