Abstract
The transition to adulthood for the post-war cohorts in France was during the 1990s the research topic of specific surveys. In 1992 the ‘Enquête Jeunes’ organised by INSEE was held among the birth cohorts of 1963–74 who were at that time young adults of about 18 to 29 years old. Different aspects of their occupational and family transitions were analysed (INSEE, 1995). In 1993 the survey ‘Passage à l’age adulte’ organised by INED was conducted among the birth cohorts of 1958–68 who were at that time about 25 to 34 years old. Bozon and Villeneuve-Gokalp (1994) focused on the intergenerational relationships of these young adults. Based on the more general survey ‘Situations familiales’, organised by INED in 1986 among the birth cohorts of 1941–60, Toulemon (1994) focused on the new situation of women in their steps towards adulthood while Leridon and Toulemon (1995) analysed the timing of the first union, whether unmarried cohabitation or marriage. The process of leaving the parental home in France has also been examined in great detail (Villeneuve-Gokalp, 1997; Galland, 1997).
