Makes very good sense. The notion of uneven development particularly appeals to me, as a sociological recognition of a disparity between social roles and responsibilities and cognitive development. I twitched a bit etymologically as well with the term "emerging adult". Maybe it's my biological materialism or the time spent in the "young adults" section of the local library as, well, a "young adult".
