Showcasing ways in which the theory of the lifecourse has been
applied in demographic research, this innovative Handbook uses key
datasets to offer a deeper understanding of the causes and
consequences of demographic change across the lifecourse. This
Handbook features contributions from leading international
demographers and social scientists, covering a range of substantive
areas such as employment, health, migration, social security,
family formation, housing and inequality to give substance to
investigations into the individual's lifecourse. Chapters highlight
major theoretical and methodological advances in lifecourse
research and present research that sheds light on family dynamics,
health and mobility over the lifecourse, illustrating the
implications of lifecourse research for policy and reform.
Comprehensive and cutting-edge, this Handbook will be crucial
reading for students and researchers of demography, social policy,
sociology and gerontology at all levels looking to enhance their
own research agendas. Policy makers and practitioners of
demographic research will also benefit from its insights into the
key methodological avenues for advanced investigations.
