Abstract

This is a study of two main transitions to adulthood amongst a large sample of young Irish people who completed their second-level education in 1981/82. It is based on final interviews carried out with them in late 1987 about their transitions to adulthood over tile preceding 5 to 6 years. It studies their achievement of a sequence of interrelated adult statuses as young people moved from dependence on their family of origin to complete economic independence and the establishment of their own households and their own new families.
