Updating Women's Life Course: Theoretical and Methodological Considerations Presented: San Francisco, CA, Population Association of America Meetings, 1995 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Life Course; Life Cycle Research; Modeling; Simultaneity; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of this paper is to further develop theoretical aspects of women's life course by broadening our empirical understanding of key life course concepts and discussing the implications. First, we explore how our contributions expand upon the dynamic nature of the life course perspective. Second, we advance our understanding of the ways in which transitions (short run) are embedded within specific trajectories by modeling several trajectories in a simultaneous fashion. Finally, we present some empirical findings using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and conclude by recommending future directions for life course research. |
