The paper looks at transition to adulthood breakdown by socio-demographic variables. Major life events, including completion of studies, employment, family formation and parenthood, using data of ”Generations and Gender” Survey (2020) are analyzed. The target population for analysis are young people aged 21-35 (N = 1915). Descriptive analysis of data based on young people’s status is presented. Logistic regression is used to analyze the determinants that influence young people's access to the labor market as one of the main markers of the transition to adulthood. The quantitative analysis of the socio-demographic aspects of the transition to adulthood showed differentiated patterns based on gender and place of residence, which have a significant impact on the occurrence of certain life events. Events related to family formation and parenting practically overlap and occur earlier among young women, with a higher share in rural areas. In the urban areas there is a higher share of young people who have a more extensive educational background. Labor market access is one of the main challenges for young people, especially in rural areas. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender (male), residence (urban) and level of education (high) of young people are the determining factors for the transition from education to work.
