This paper examines aspects of men's life experiences during young adulthood in the light of their family background and status at age 16. The hypothesis that families exert influence on their adult children's lives by placing the adolescent in school and work roles which influence subsequent life-course patterns received partial support from life history data for three birth cohorts of Norwegian men. It is also shown that the mediation of family effects on time allocation has been increasing over time, suggesting that whatever influence the family may have on a son's time-use in young adulthood is increasingly being channeled through its effect on the status of the adolescent In the case of time allocation to schooling and full-time employment, this should be interpreted as largely an indication of the increasing dominance of the age-graded school system in the structuring of young men's lives
