Abstract	"The transition from youth to adulthood in western societies has become more prolonged and complex as traditional societal norms have lost influence. Using retrospective data from a cohort of 43-year-old Canadians surveyed in 2010 (n?=?405), we mapped the timing, sequencing, and duration of 'first stage' youth-adult transitions (leaving home, finishing formal education, obtaining a full-time job) and 'second stage' youth-adult transitions (marriage, parenthood, home ownership). Latent profile analysis identified five distinct transition profiles - norm-setters, quick adults, uncertain adults, adult students, and delayed adults - with different amounts and timing of post-secondary educational investment playing an important profile-shaping role. Although youth-adult transitions have become less standardized and more individualized, especially for first stage transitions, these transitions are still quite structured and continue to be affected by gender and family socioeconomic status."
