A chapter in The People Business, 2005, pp 79-81 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Young people in many countries have a socially acceptable and sanctioned period in which they are allowed and encouraged to “find themselves”, “grow up”, and “experience life”. It is a sort of psychological moratorium in which the responsibilities and drudgeries of adulthood are postponed.
