Abstract
Youth transitions to adulthood and traditional markers of “complete” adulthood are becoming more fluid, uncertain, and extended in modern western societies. Despite these shifts, public discourses surrounding young adult home-leaving trajectories have remained largely informed by a linear benchmark perspective. This framework positions establishing financial autonomy with the goal of permanently leaving the parental home as central to “successful” adulthood. In this paper, we integrate textual and interview data to critically interrogate contemporary public discourses of adulting in tandem with Canadian young adults’ subjective understandings of “successful” adulthood. Specifically, we conduct discourse analysis using two complimentary data sources: (1) a selection of Canadian news articles addressing youth transitions to adulthood (n = 44), and (2) interviews assessing Canadian young adults’ perceptions and experiences of adulthood (n = 20). Our findings reveal how media constructions of “successful adulthood” are synonymous with financial independence and responsibility. These social norms reflect and shape young adults’ subjective meanings of “successful” adulthood and inform the ways of being that young people imagine as “ideal”.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
