Produktbeschreibung

Patchworkfamilien, komplizierte Bildungsverläufe, »Erwerbsbiografien«, flexibler Übergang in den Ruhestand - heutige Lebensläufe haben mit jenen der Generationen zuvor nur noch wenig gemein. Hierin zeigt sich ein vielgestaltiger sozialer, politischer, wirtschaftlicher und kultureller Wandel in modernen Gesellschaften. Der vorliegende englischsprachige Reader richtet sein Augenmerk auf die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit diesem sozialen und biografischen Wandel - die Lebenslaufforschung - und analysiert die Wechselwirkungen von Individuum und Gesellschaft. Die Herausgeber versammeln bedeutende theoretische und empirische Texte aus Europa und Nordamerika von Martin Kohli, Jutta Allmendinger, Glen Elder, Angela O'Rand und vielen anderen.
