  text: 'The fact that there is a specific age marking the emergence of adulthood
    in the United States has been well documented. The starting point for the studies
    included in this special issue is the assumption that the same can be said for
    European countries. Thus, a comparison of characteristics of emerging adulthood
    between different European countries was performed. In this special issue, contributions
    of scholars from five different European countries are taken as representative
    of different regions: Spain, Italy, Finland, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
    The efforts of the research are twofold. The first is to look at how the traditional
    markers of adulthood have changed and how the concept of adulthood is seen in
    the different countries. The second is to highlight the influence that the entrance
    into the working world and romantic partnership have on emerging adults and to
    detect the impact of the timing of entering adulthood on identity achievement.
    The results are presented here as different pathways that emerging adults follow
    to reach the same goal of mature adulthood.'
