Yes and no. I certainly hate that we have (as a society) been delaying marriage and having kids to later and later in life. No one should reach their late 20s and still not be settled down with kids. I think our mainstream pop culture and TV shows glorifying the 30 year-old single lifestyle has to be at least partially to blame. At the rate our society has moved to delaying adulthood, the concept of a grandparent will be a thing of the past soon enough. I'm fortunate enough to have known all four of my grandparents into adulthood (and three of them are still with us), but I wonder how many more generations will be able to say that.
I think treating people as adults at age 16 could be a useful tool to fixing this issue. Honestly, I would probably be OK giving most or all rights of adulthood at 16, as it largely has been (if not younger) throughout human history.
