Le relazioni familiari generative come risorsa per la transizione all’età adulta

[Autom. eng. transl.] The evolutionary task of the transition to adulthood is to move from a condition of dependence on parents, in which the relationships between parents and children are characterized by verticality and asymmetry, a condition in which family relationships become more symmetrical, favoring the independence of the young person. In the long journey of transition to adulthood, the family finds itself having to take on a generative perspective that promotes in the youth on the one hand the planning of a family and on the other an ever greater protagonism in the public sphere, be it work or social commitment . The role of the family in supporting the transition to adulthood has become increasingly consistent not only in Italy but also internationally. The objective of the contribution is, starting from Italian and international research data, to highlight how the family constitutes a resource considering both the family system as a whole, in terms of family processes and considering relational exchange, in terms of emotional support or financial.
