Article abstractBecoming an adult is not an objective in itself, despite the assumptions of manysociologists of youth. Thus, the bulk of their work should not focus on theevents marking the end of this period. This article advances a new perspective,focussing on the transition to autonomy and self-sufficiency. In effect, formany young adults, access to economic self-sufficiency is attained late, if at all.Because of this, autonomy then becomes difficult to achieve, given that socialnorms presume the two go together for adults. This explains why young adultshave, in the last few years, become a social and political problem. The questionis whether the state should provide economic resources so as to assure memthe impression of independence? If so, in what ways?
