Due to these social changes, our expectations of young people and their level of social responsibility have also changed. The recognition of a new life stage — emerging (发展初期的) adulthood — has been recommended to account for the changes to social milestones that have traditionally represented adulthood.

体裁：议论文　题材：社会生活　主题：关于“成年”的社会观点的变化

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文，论述了由于教育机会的增加、经济上的变化等社会变化，年轻人进入成年人生阶段的时间推迟了。

【难句分析】　Economic changes have also resulted in unstable employment markets and increases in costs of living, prompting many young people to remain at home and dependent on parents.

分析：该句是一个简单句，句中的“prompting many young people to remain at home and dependent on parents”为现在分词短语作结果状语；result in意为“导致，造成”。

译文：经济上的变化也导致了不稳定的就业市场和生活成本的增加，这促使许多年轻人留在家里并依赖父母。
