Want to Read $ 4.99"There is this delay of the full implementation of adulthood at the beginning of the life cycle, but there is also an extension at the end...The proportion of the population living to 80 or 90 is continuing to go up, so adulthood is shrinking at the younger ages, but extending at the older ages. It's a way I don't hear expressed very often, but if you didn't start adulthood until you were in your thirties, you would still have as many years of adulthood now as you would have in the 1950s or 60s. It's not just a delay, but it's a shift, too. The delay is the more important part of the story, but it's also an upward shift in the life cycle."-Kayleen Schaefer, But You're Still So Young: How Thirtysomethings Are Redefining Adulthood
