At what age does adolescence end and adulthood begin?
Is there a universal age? Or does it depend on ones culture?
Developmental psychologists define it when one is independent from parents, financially, left the home, secured a career….so mid twenties…when education is over. It is culturally varied, and class varied. Lower SES, everything happens earlier, birth of first child, marriage, death. Higher SES, things are later. Some cultures have rites of passage where there is a clear end to adolescence, but in western culture, it is not that clear, hence the definition of separation from family, and economic independence. Given more education is now required to work, adolescence is ending later. (college psych professor)
