metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper seeks to systemize the core approaches to life course studies, and to compare and operationalize
  the key working terms used in different traditions of life course studies such as agency,
  generation, cohort, opportunity structure and period effect. This makes a challenging task, as a stable
  and conventional conceptual apparatus has not been shaped in life course studies yet. Having analyzed
  some ‘pressure points’ of the sociological inquiry into life courses, the authors outline a set of recommendations
  and perspectives relevant for the development of this research field. In particular, they
  uphold the productivity of synthetic theoretical and empirical models and tools capable of accounting both for the micro- and the macro-factors of life choices and trajectories of individuals and whole
  generations and cohorts. They show that such models should consider both the consequences of individual
  efforts and decisions (agency), and the influence of objective external conditions determined by
  historical, political, social and cultural contexts (opportunity structure). Refs 61.
