This comprehensive handbook provides an overview of key theoretical
perspectives, concepts, and methodological approaches that, while
applied to diverse phenomena, are united in their general approach
to the study of lives across age phases. In surveying the wide
terrain of life course studies with dual emphases on theory and
empirical research, this important reference work presents
probative concepts and methods and identifies promising avenues for
future research.
Included are sections on history and cross-national variability,
normative structuring, movement through the life course,
transitions in the life course, turning points, connections between
life phases, methodology, and the future of the life course. A
major reference work and a seminal text, it is essential reading
for social scientists studying phases within the life course,
social psychologists in sociology and psychology, demographers and
academics in the field of the life course as well as students in
these disciplines.
