young adulthood
Early maturity phase
Young adulthood is the life stage between adolescence and full maturity, roughly the late teens through the twenties.
It typically involves transitions like leaving home, completing education, establishing a career, and forming adult relationships.
The boundaries are fuzzy—someone might be in young adulthood at 19 or still there at 29, depending on circumstances and culture.
