This open access book examines how families and other social
institutions interact to shape outcomes over the life course. It
considers how to use research evidence to reduce social
disadvantage through translation of evidence to support public
policies and programs. The chapters focus on key life course stages
such as early child development, adolescence, emerging adulthood,
parenting, marriage, relationships and ageing, as well as examining
experiences and outcomes for selected social groups such as
Indigenous children, migrants and refugees, and gay, lesbian and
bisexual groups. The book presents evidence using high-quality and
recent data. With a focus on Australia, the volume provides new
insights into how context shapes life course pathways and outcomes
and a contrast to work that typically focuses on Europe and the
United States. It will be of value to anyone interested in
understanding how family background and life course pathways
influence social disadvantage.
