Abstract

Life courses can be perceived as interplays between different trajectories, such as education, work, and reproduction, spanning the different life phases of an individual. Along these paths, an individual finds different life course transitions, such as the entrance to the workforce, the establishment of a relationship, or the birth of children. The age and the historical time in which the transitions take place are also important. Transitions can, in turn, be influenced by agency, social relations, coincidence, geographical locations, and historical conditions. These life course elements are elaborated on and illustrated with evidence from relevant research.
