Abstract	Over the past century, there have been significant changes in the prevalence, density, and complexity of transitions to adulthood in the United States and Europe. Analyses of change in less developed countries have largely focused on one or two transitions in isolation. This article examines whether recent increases in female school participation, the timing of marriage, and socio-economic changes in Africa and Latin America have influenced the timing and pattern of the entire transition to adulthood. Using data from countries with Demographic and Health Surveys 12–15 years apart, we analyze how the distribution of status combinations (education, employment, marriage, and childbearing) has changed over this period for women aged 15–30. Heterogeneity analysis is used to describe the changes in the complexity of status combinations. Although we find little change in transition complexity for women older than 20, there is evidence for shifts in the distribution of status combinations at any given age.Au cours du siècle dernier, il y a eu des changements significatifs dans la prévalence, la densité et la complexité des passages à l’âge adulte aux Etats-Unis et en Europe. L’analyse des changements dans les pays en développement est largement concentrée sur une ou deux transitions prises isolément. Cet article examine à la fois l’influence de la scolarisation croissante des filles, du calendrier du mariage et des changements socio-économiques en Afrique et en Amérique latine sur les modalités de déroulement de la transition vers l’âge adulte. A partir de données nationales d’Enquêtes Démographiques et de Santé espacées de 12 à 15 ans, nous examinons les changements de distributions croisées de l’éducation, de la situation d’activité, du mariage et de la procréation pour les femmes âgées de 15 à 30 ans. Une analyse d’hétérogénéité est réalisée pour décrire les changements dans la complexité des statuts croisés. Bien que la complexité de la transition pour les femmes âgées de plus de 20 ans soit peu modifiée, on observe des évolutions dans les distributions croisées à tous les âges.
