Abstract

This special issue is devoted to the articles presented at a workshop held in Montreal in June 2006 as part of the activities of the Scientific Panel on the Transition to Adulthood of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP). The articles address three of the key goals of the Panel: (1) to develop new tools to study the transition to adulthood as a whole rather than as a series of discrete events; (2) to add to the comparative literature on the transition to adulthood, especially in terms of its micro–macro linkages; and (3) to provide researchers with a more inclusive conceptual framework to study the transition to adulthood.
