Lifecourse Perspective

The Lifecourse Perspective is a way of understanding how people's lives develop over time, considering the long-term effects of early experiences, choices, and events. It recognizes that our health, relationships, and opportunities are influenced by factors from childhood to old age. This approach emphasizes that life is a continuous process, with past events shaping future outcomes, and it highlights the importance of considering timing, context, and transitions in understanding an individual's life trajectory.
