- Summary:
- Lifecycle Events and Their Consequences explores how job loss, the onset of health limitations, and changes in household structure can have a pronounced influence on-individual and household well-being over time. Although these events are typically studied in isolation, they frequently co-occur and are otherwise interrelated. This book provides a systematic empirical overview of these sometimes uncertain events and their impact. By placing them in a unified analytical framework and approaching each one from a similar perspective, this volume illustrates the importance of a coherent approach to thinking about the interrelationships among these shifts. With insightful contributions from top scholars, Lifecycle Events and Their Consequences sets the future research agenda in this important area. Book jacket.
