This study analyzes the diversity of the transition to adult life (TVA), with a survey of people living in Mexico City in 2017, born between 1962 and 1982. The objective of the analysis is to identify the originality of the stages of the TVA in this big Latin American metropolis, where the greatest economic and social changes of the country have occurred. With the biographical data throughout life collected by the EDER 2017, several techniques are combined to describe the diversity of successive events that make up transitions to adult life. The different methods used are sequence analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and logit models. One of the main findings was the typification of three dissimilar adult life trajectories: the accelerated transition, the prolonged transition and the emergent model of transition. The results of the models clearly indicate the great weight of education on the life trajectories.
