Parental Support for Young Adults

A Temporal Perspective

Ian Dey

This paper considers ways in which a temporal perspective can illuminate social policy analysis, through the example of developing research into parental support for young adults. In recent years parents of young adults have acquired new responsibilities, but we know little about how they perceive or fulfil them. First, the paper considers the `transition' from child to adult status, emphasizing the importance of temporal frames of reference. Second, it considers change, drawing upon Archer's temporal separation of structure and agency. Third, it draws on evolutionary theory to illuminate ways in which parental support for young adults evolves.

Key Words: change • evolution • parental support • transition
