【 摘 要 】

The paper deals with transition to adulthood of young people in Serbiathrough analysis of findings of the two surveys from 2003 and 2011. The aimsare to explore the changes in pace, as well as in transitional trajectoriesthat could indicate their destandardisation and individualisation. Some ofthe debatable issues related to the transition to adulthood approach arepresented in the framework and discussed further in relation to the resultsof the analysis in the concluding section. The findings indicate that thereexists some acceleration in the pace of transition, mainly due to increasedfinancial independence of young people. The trajectories, however, are stillstandardised, while transition is postponed and prolonged. The comparativeanalyses of some features of young people’s transitions to adulthood in theBalkans led to the conclusion that an alternative conceptualization isneeded.
