Journal Article
Adolescence and the next generation
2018
Overview
Adolescent growth and social development shape the early development of offspring from preconception through to the post-partum period through distinct processes in males and females. At a time of great change in the forces shaping adolescence, including the timing of parenthood, investments in today’s adolescents, the largest cohort in human history, will yield great dividends for future generations.
Investing in adolescents as the parents of the next generation is important for the wellbeing of current and future generations.
The afterlife of adolescence
Adolescence is increasingly recognized as a developmental period that has a potential for influencing life-course trajectories that is second only to early life, but that could also shape the growth and development of the following generation. George Patton and colleagues review the evidence around how an individual's health, growth and nutrition during adolescence may affect the early growth of their offspring, and consider potential mechanisms for transmission. The current generation of adolescents—now considered to be all those aged between 10 and 24—will be the largest in human history to become parents. The greatest dividends from investments in today's adolescents may be seen in the health and human capabilities of the next generation.
