Adulthood After the War
- Before World War II, it was unusual for the young to achieve the markers of full adult status before their mid- or late twenties.
- The golden age of easy adulthood did not last long.
- Starting in the 1960s, the marriage age began to rise again and secondary education became more and more necessary for a middle-class income.
- Unfortunately, not all of society has caught up, and older generations may not recognize the young as adults without these markers.
- Many young people still want to establish careers, get married, to have kids. but they just don't see them as the defining traits of adulthood.
