The transformations that are now taking place in women's lives are
of great interest to social scientists and policy makers, yet we
know very little about the impact of this social change over time.
This new study uses longitudinal data - information gathered over a
considerable period of time - to provide new insights into the
changing dynamics of lives of women today. In particular, it
explores the potential of longitudinal or life course analysis as a
powerful tool for appreciating the gender dimension of social life.
The contributors view the data from a policy perspective and use
comparative analysis from Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden
and Japan to expand our understanding of women's life courses in
relation to both men and women and the system of inequality.

In the spirit of The Snowy Day, a group of kids from A to Z arrive
at the bus stop only to discover that the bus is a no-show-snow
day!It's time for school, and all the neighborhood kids, from
Antoine to Mahmoud to Zoey, gather one by one in the frosty dawn to
wait for the school bus. But something more thrilling arrives
first. Snowflakes fall, transforming the bus stop into a winter
wonderland-and an official snow day. No school!
Understanding change over time is a central concern for research in
sociology, political science, education, geography and related
disciplines. It is also an issue which presents significant
methodological problems, in response to which different techniques
have been developed - for example, time series analysis, multilevel
models, log-linear models and event history analysis. Outlining the
nature of such techniques, this accessible collection covers: the
respective values of cross-sectional and longitudinal data in the
analysis of change; the variety of methods available for the
analysis of change over time; the types of research objective to
which various techniques are suited; the limitations and
constraints of individual methods; and the different philosophies
which underlie particular approaches.
