Turning points describe a fundamental change of direction in a life course trajectory. However, they are challenging to study because of their temporal extension, the complexity of processes at stake during those critical life sequences, and the fact that individuals’ interpretation as well as more objective changes in social status and position play important roles in turning points. Panel-based mixed ...

Chile had substantial inequalities in local-level mortality rates in 1990 but by 2010 these disparities had significantly decreased, especially among infants, children and the elderly. The only exception was Chilean men aged 20-39, for whom inequality in mortality ...

Here, we used representative German data (SOEP; N = 40,121 individuals; n = 41,402 event occurrences) ...

In this article, we suggest that the substantive field of education has an independent and important role to play over and above level. Using cross-national evidence ...
