人口统计学中的极端案例对研究人员来说是重要的挑战，而欧洲社会仍然重要的异质性对于有兴趣研究文化和制度因素重要性的学者来说是一种祝福。在向成年过渡的过程中，南欧的“晚-晚”模式与北欧国家相反的“早-早”模式共存。在本文中，我讨论了多方面的方法来解释为什么在欧洲成为“成年人”显得如此多样化。我使用二手数据分析并呈现跨国相关性：福利国家和制度安排，历史和根深蒂固的文化差异，以及经济和政策因素，以及观念变化。此外，微观层面的决定因素在不同的社会中发挥着不同的作用。未来对欧洲成年人过渡的研究需要是多层次的、比较的和跨学科的，并考虑模式持续差异的潜在影响。
Extreme cases in demography are important challenges for researchers, and the still important heterogeneity of European societies is a blessing for scholars interested in studying the importance of cultural and institutional factors. In the transition to adulthood the "latest-late" pattern of Southern Europe cohabits with its opposite "earliest-early" pattern of the Nordic countries. In this paper, I discuss multifaceted approaches to the explanation of why becoming an "adult" in Europe appears so diverse. I use secondary data analyses and present cross-country correlations: welfare state and institutional arrangements, historical and deeply rooted cultural differences, as well as economic and policy factors, and ideational change. Moreover, micro-level determinants play different roles in different societies. Future research on the transition to adulthood in Europe needs to be multilevel, comparative and interdisciplinary, and to consider the potential implication of persistent differences in patterns.
