   Abstract:
   Life course perspectives are recent additions to the conceptual armamentarium of the social sciences. Nonetheless, they already have demonstrated their value for understanding temporal aspects of life patterns. At the individual level, life course perspectives have proven to be especially important in highlighting the ways that events and decisions that occur earlier in life can have persistent effects on the structure and quality of life at later points in time. At the macro, population-based level, life course perspectives have been useful in highlighting the ways in whichsocial change generates different patterns of social structure and personal biography across cohorts.
