labour market transitions and time adjustment over life course
the standard life course is losing ground . more people men and women are active in the labor market than ever before but work is not their only focus in life . the transitional labor market approach in science and policy making looks at the way people make transitions between different domains of life or combine activities in these different domains . this results in questions like can men cross the bridge to the field of care as easily as women which arrangements help women to return to the labor market after they have devoted some years to full time motherhood is part time retirement to be preferred to full time retirement the chapters of this book give the answers to these and several other questions related to labor market transitions between labor and care and transitions between the labor market and retirement . scientists will be triggered by the theoretical notions and the firm empirical analyses . policy makers may find inspiration for solutions to everyday policy problems that they will be facing during the next years as individual life courses will become more diverse .
