Abstract
‘Emerging Adulthood’, a concept developed by Jeffrey Jensen Arnett (2005), is an
important phenomenon prevailing world over. The concept explains that with
major socio-economic development, youth are spending a longer period of time in
education, marrying at a later stage and delaying the process of parenthood. Due
to this phenomenon a complex transition is being experienced by the institution of
family world over. The paper aims to have an understanding how this
phenomenon is occurring in Lahore city and what are its manifestations in the
context of changes being experienced within the family institution. Mixedmethodology has been employed to collect primary data from youth and parents.
The experiences and opinions given by the two generations provide a lucid and
comprehensive picture on the transition being experienced by the institution of
family in our country
