The chapter outlines the contexts of youth transitions in Switzerland within the comparative analysis of this book and sheds light on young people’s school-to-work, housing (leaving home) and domestic transitions (marriage/cohabitation and parenthood). The first part presents the historical background and trends of youth transitions in Switzerland over the past decades, based on previous research. The contexts of youth transitions in Switzerland are then presented, followed by an overview of the social policies and norms that structure youth transitions. The second part presents empirical patterns of youth transitions based on data from the Swiss longitudinal survey Transitions from Education to Employment (TREE). School-to-work transitions, housing and domestic transitions and the respective life patterns of young people are examined and linked to young people’s life satisfaction. The results show that successful housing and domestic transitions by the age of thirty increase life satisfaction for both men and women. The perceived age norm for reaching adulthood is decoupled from the age of parenthood. Transition norms are intertwined with gendered career expectations and gendered patterns of life satisfaction, while inadequate family policies tend to encourage women to stop working when they have their first child.
