Missions of the LIVES Centre

The goal of the LIVES Centre is to develop theories, methods and innovative empirical studies to understand the different forms and dynamics that vulnerability can take along the life course

The LIVES Centre promotes an interdisciplinary approach and is concerned with specific life stages or lifelong processes. The Centre aims to provide a picture of individuals' trajectories, taking into account the interactions between different life domains, such as family, work, health, etc. In addition, LIVES researchers investigate the influence of societal structures such as gender and age norms that can facilitate or hinder the mobilization of individuals' resources in their navigation of life course events and transitions.
