Research around the transition to adulthood age group 16 to 25
Catch22 report 'Ready or Not' shows the need for new thinking on policies
New research, commissioned by Catch22, has found that a quarter of young people aged between 18 and 24 (26%) do not feel ready to be fully independent without support.
Ready or Not calls on the Government to formally recognise young adulthood, from 16 to 25, as a specific life stage and ensure services are better co-ordinated, better suited and more relevant to young people struggling to make the transition to adulthood.
The report highlights the stories of five young people who have experienced a steep drop off in support during the transition to adulthood.
