Indeed, there are five dichotomous events that mark the transition to adulthood: leaving the education system, entering the labour market, leaving the household of origin, forming a conjugal union, and starting the reproductive phase or having the first child. In a way, during this phase the predominant role that the family played as a place of risk and protection increasingly shifts towards the market and the State. There is greater exposure to spheres where rights and access to well-being are defined by status and individual performance, and the mediation of the family wanes. The principal risks that young people are exposed to during this process relate to three key dimensions: timing, sequence and quality of events.
