11.Most Americans believe that someone isn't grown-up until the age of 26and they should complete their education,have a full-time job,have a family to support and be financially independent.They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20and takes about five years,according to the report from the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center.
The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398people over the age of 18who were surveyed in person.The survey found that people expect the transitions(過渡) to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages:age 20.9self-supporting; age 21.1no longer living with parents; age 21.2having a full-time job; age 22.3education completed; age 24.5being able to support a family financially; age 25.7getting married; and age 26.2having a child.
"There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,"said Tom Smith,director of the survey.The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family,having children and getting married.Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do.This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values.The most valued step toward reaching adulthood,the survey found,is completing education,followed by full-time employment,supporting a family,financial independence,living independently,and marriage.
