These six short videos are a supplement to our Future Lives: Exploring life course transformations report and Future lives project. They introduce changes in six key life course components: care, education, living arrangements, reproduction, labour, and older adulthood.
Broad transitions like ageing demographics are affecting where and how people live. Changes in lifestyle and living arrangements could then lead to greater (in)security and (in)stability over the life course.
As people live healthier, longer lives, many older adults are enjoying a period of renewed self-discovery later in life. Changes in how people spend their time, and how and where they live during this life stage could affect decisions made earlier in the life course.
People are becoming parents later in life and through non-traditional means. Changes in the who, what, where, why, and when of reproduction could affect entire life trajectories.
