ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Waithood

Waithood is a term used to describe the time in a person's life when they are too old to be a child, but too young to be an adult and have a full-time job. During this time, many young people are stuck in a limbo and don't have the independence or job opportunities that come with adulthood. This can be difficult since young people in this situation don't have a steady income or the ability to make their own decisions.
