The achievement of the traditional milestones associated with adulthood within the current cohort of young adults appears to differ by social class backgrounds, and these differences may be growing due to the differential support of natal families. However, existing research and theory that looks at intergenerational social mobility does not fully examine the multidimensional aspect of family capital and how this capital is deployed during transitions to adulthood. Therefore, building on the work of P ierre B ourdieu on the forms of family capital in the p arental i nvestment f ramework, this article proposes a conceptual model that examines three kinds of resources that natal families marshal and the mechanisms through which these resources are deployed during transitions to adulthood
