Early adulthood is the stage of life encompassing the late teens up the mid-twenties, which is essentially late adolescence. Although people within this age range are legally adults, they are still young people in the process of expotentially maturing, dealing with college, employment and wage issues, learning to drive, manage their own finance, and buy a home, all while still relying on parental support. People within this age group are variously described as young adults, late teens, twentysomethings, and twixters.

"Young adult" is often mistakenly thought of as being interchangeable with "teenager" and going down to 13, due to the YoungAdultLiterature genre targeting middle/high school students, but this is only because YA books share a PeripheryDemographic with teens and preteens.
