life course analysis

• Life course analysis is about how people live their lives and how it has changed.
• In the past, life course was fixed. People were expected to have achieved different things at different stages of their life e.g., getting married in your 20s. Life course is no longer fixed, there are less expectations put on people to have met goals at a certain age.
• The change in society norms, values and expectations influenced life course. The traditional life-style (marriage & children) is no longer the norm, people have also started to prioritise other things e.g., eduction.
