The idea
Many societies set adolescence aside as a transition to adult stature, status and roles, while elsewhere children take adult responsibilities quickly.
In practice
Older adolescents in rural Cambodia becoming caretakers and family supporters, while US peers finish high school.
Where people slip
Within one country, family structure, culture, opportunity and income change how smooth the transition is.
