Why 20-Somethings Are Choosing a Slower Path to Adulthood, and Why It's Good for Everyone -- [Paperback] By: Richard Setterson, PHD & Barbara E. Ray -- Why are 20-somethings delaying adulthood? The media have flooded us with negative headlines about this generation, from their sense of entitlement to their immaturity. Drawing on almost a decade of cutting-edge research and nearly five hundred interviews with young people, Richard Settersten, Ph.D., and Barbara E. Ray shatter these stereotypes, revealing an unexpected truth: A slower path to adulthood is good for all of us. Their surprising findings include: Young adults who finish college and delay marriage and child-rearing get a much better start in life. Few 20-somethings who live at home are mooching off their parents. More often, they are using the time at home to gain necessary credentials and save money for a more secure future. Helicopter parents arent so bad after all. Involved parents provide young people with advantages, including mentoring and economic support, that have become increasingly necessary to success. Not Quite Adults is a fascinating look at an often misunderstood generation. Its a must-read for parents, teachers, psychologists, sociologists, and anyone interested in todays youth culture.
