[I am 25, moved to US for BS so worked since 18] I think work age is slightly different in Asia. Most people do not work till they have at least a BS Degree (21/22) or possibly even a Masters degree. And also, while they are in school/college they pretty much stay at home in the comforts of their family unless they go for an engineering college to a different city. So, indirectly they are pretty much protected from the real world issues for a major part of their youth. So, age/maturity also seems to have some cultural flavor to it as well.
