The author of "a parent's role in the path to adulthood" says people are "taking longer to recognize themselves as adults." What trend does she note to support this claim

The trends are;

1. Delay in the time of first marriage and first child birth of young people emerging into adulthood.

2. Lengthy years spent in schooling which leaves the emerging adults financially dependent on their parents for a long period of time.

3. Less autonomy caused by constant communication with parents on several platforms like the social media. This prolongs the number of years spent by parents in micromanaging their children's lives.

Explanation:

The author of 'A parent's role in the path of Adulthood', Barbara Hofer, notes that the transition into adulthood in many countries is quite blurry as some states do not have a clear logic that explains rules stipulating transition. A case in point is The United States of America where the age of people who wish to serve in the military comes before the age in which an adult is considered responsible enough to start consuming alcohol.

Barbara also notes that people are taking longer to recognize themselves as adults because of some changes happening in the society.
