Abstract	"Social change has affected all young people - but not all in the same way. While the transition to adulthood has generally been extended, not all young people are delaying the step into paid employment, independent living, and family formation, especially those from less privileged family background. Existing templates for the transition to adulthood are, however, dominated by the assumption of a standard trajectory generally involving pathways through post-compulsory education, without taking into account the resources available to young people nor the complexities and variations of the demands they have to negotiate in making the transition to independent adulthood. Current transition research examining variability in transitions focuses on a dichotomy of experience, as for example, the polarization into slow versus fast transitions and cumulative disadvantage which leads to increasingly diverging achievements. I argue that focusing on a dichotomy of experience fails to take into account variations in transition experiences, especially regarding intermediate groups who fall between the lines of this dualism. Moving toward a more flexible and dynamic understanding of transition experiences - a diverse pathways view - offers a more comprehensive conceptualization of variations in pathways leading to successful adaptations in the transition to adulthood."
