As youth entering into adulthood, the family influence from earlier life stages has become an important research subject. Family, in contrast with peers, friends, colleagues, may reveal different salience of effects since early adolescence. But how family experiences affect the family and work patterns during young adulthood remain relatively understudied. Several family aspects in the process of transition to adulthood are of particular interests: family formation attitudes and behaviors, school to work transition, the family-work linkages, as well as the intergenerational transmission of family values and family practices from parents. The varying effects of current marital status, intergenerational interactions and gender differences among young adults are significant factors deserve further investigation.
The session aims at bringing together researches regarding the family influence on young adults’ work and family, preferably based on large scale panel studies, in the transition to adulthood. Empirical analysis pertains to one society as well as using the cross-national comparative perspectives are welcome. We also welcome submissions that focus on one particular event/ process or the intersection between various life domains in the transition to adulthood. The longitudinal effect of family on the current state of young adults is encouraged.
