Life chances, learning and the dynamics of risk in the life course

Second International Handbook of Lifelong Learning
Journal · pp. 245-267
Abstract

Research into the ways in which life chances are shaped by structures of opportunity and risk has been increasingly influenced by theories of reflexive modernisation and the role of human agency, and the availability of large-scale data sets and cohort studies to model relationships from the early years into and through adult life. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012.
