Emergent Adulthood: Review of Literature integrates academic literature to better understand the general challenges and experiences of young people between the ages of 18-25 years in Tasmania today. It identifies transition points that may be applied to map current social policy and programs in our State. This important piece of work, commissioned by YNOT, was produced by University of Tasmania multi-disciplinary researchers from the Tasmanian Behavioural Lab and the Peter Underwood Centre.

Tasmanians are invited to share their thoughts, ideas, and suggestions about how young people 18-25 years can be better supported as they transition to adulthood and independence. This Discussion Paper and Consultation Process builds on what we learnt and heard through a review of academic literature, mapping of existing programs and policies, and feedback from young people and stakeholders working in community, youth and government sectors. 

The Youth Transitions Discussion Paper - Becoming an adult: the experience of young Tasmanians today - presents some of the key challenges and opportunities young adults face as they start this exciting, but sometimes overwhelming, journey into adulthood.
