The life course perspective is a sociological framework that examines how people's lives are shaped by various social, economic, and historical factors over the course of their lives. This approach considers individuals as constantly evolving and changing beings who are influenced by their past experiences, current circumstances, and future aspirations. Researchers in this area focus on understanding the interconnected nature of various life events, transitions, and trajectories that shape people's pathways from birth to old age. This perspective provides insights into how social structures, institutions, and interpersonal relationships impact individuals' life outcomes and opportunities.
