Summary:This special issue is devoted to the articles presented at a workshop held in Montreal in June 2006 as part of the activities of the Scientific Panel on the Transition to Adulthood of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP). The articles address three of the key goals of the Panel: (1) to develop new tools to study the transition to adulthood as a whole rather than as a series of discrete events; (2) to add to the comparative literature on the transition to adulthood, especially in terms of its micro–macro linkages; and (3) to provide researchers with a more inclusive conceptual framework to study the transition to adulthood. /// Ce numéro spécial est consacré aux contributions de l'atelier organisé à Montréal en Juin 2006 dans le cadre des activités du Comité de l'Union Internationale pour l'Etude Scientifique de la Population (UIESP) sur le passage à l'âge adulte. Les articles apportent des réponses aux trois objectifs principaux du Comité: (1) développer des outils nouveaux pour étudier le passage à l'âge adulte comme un tout plutôt que comme une série d'événements ponctuels; (2) enrichir la littérature sur le sujet, tout particulièrement en termes de liaison entre l'échelle micro et l'échelle macro; et (3) fournir aux chercheurs un cadre conceptuel plus complet pour l'étude du passage à l'âge adulte.
