Low-SES young people in Western nations who are academically unprepared for college

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low-SES young people who are academically unprepared for college often do not have the resources to extend the period of emerging adulthood, which is a time of exploration and self-discovery. They often prioritize finding work to support themselves and their families, leading to an earlier transition to full adulthood without a significant period of exploration or experimentation. They may also need to delay marriage and parenthood due to financial limitations, making choice A a possibility. Choice B is not necessarily true as financial independence may not be feasible for them due to limited opportunity and resources. Choice D is also unlikely as an early establishment of fulfilling careers usually requires higher education and opportunities that may not be available to this population.
