The white paper attributes, citing Arnett and others, that delayed entry into adulthood "has led to greater role ambiguity and a greater emphasis on individuality in identity development." Second-hand theoretical attribution; no data reported here.
"The literature on emerging adulthood (Arnett, 2000; Arnett, 2007) focuses on the phase of life that extends from the late teens into the twenties, and has argued that this delay into adulthood has led to greater role ambiguity and a greater emphasis on individuality in identity development (Arnett, 2000; Mayseless & Keren, 2014)."
