Questions:
1. For each of the families above, describe the resources and supports the parents are (likely) providing to their young adult children.
2. For each of the families above, describe the resources and supports the children are (likely) providing to their parents or other family members. It might help to think about the extent to which the parents need support, what types of support they might need (and why), and the extent to which support can be outsourced if it is needed. Your reading should come in handy here.
3. How might the supports you mentioned in Q2 impact young adults' abilities to fulfill their own goals during the transition to adulthood?
4. Think about the combination of responses from Q1 and Q2. How do you think the future looks for the young adults in Family A and Family B? Where might we expect these different sets of siblings to be 30 years from now?
5. What types of policies might assist low-income families during the transition to adulthood? Feel free to be creative here.
