A young adult is someone in the transition from a teenager to an adult. It is usually informally considered to encompass the period from age 16 to age 25, although the exact period varies between societies and time periods.
In many societies, young adults encounter a number of issues as they begin to hold full-time jobs and take on other responsibilities of adulthood. Young adult literature is a literary genre of books written for this age group.
