The age science says you’re a responsible adult
A new survey has revealed that we donโt truly become adults until our mid-twenties.
The age science says you’re a responsible adult
The survey carried out by the National Youth Board for the National Citizen Service (NCS), suggests we donโt truly become adults until the age of 26.
More than 2,000 adults over the age of 25 participated in the study, with over a third (38%) of those polled saying they still rely on their parents or guardians.
Nuala McNally, who sits on the board, said: โThere are a number of factors which may contribute to young people finding independence later now than ever before.
โItโs much harder for us to leave our parentsโ and guardiansโ homes for the first time, meaning less opportunity to put practical skills such as budgeting.
โIn addition, a lot of us are choosing to stay in education longer, which is great as more people are academically investing in their future. โHowever, it means we have less โreal worldโ experience.โ
