Handbook on Demographic Change and the Lifecourse

Professor Jane Falkingham, Professor Maria Evandrou and Professor Athina Vlachantoni are the editors of a new innovative research handbook on demographic change and the lifecourse.

The handbook features contributions from leading international demographers and social scientists, covering areas such as employment, health, migration, social security, family formation, housing and inequality, to give substance to investigations into the individual’s lifecourse. Highlighting major theoretical and methodological advances in lifecourse research, the book sheds light on family dynamics, health and mobility, illustrating the implications for policy and reform.

Comprehensive and cutting-edge, students and researchers of demography, social policy, sociology and gerontology will be able to use the handbook to enhance their own research agendas. Policy-makers and demographic research practitioners will also benefit from its insights.
