There are a range of life events that have an effect on the development of political attitudes and behaviour. Education, friendships, employment, marriage, parenthood, divorce and aging are all life transitions that affect our identities, the resources that we have at our disposal and our social networks. In this module you will look at these phenomena at the individual level, at the macro level and in the context of major societal developments: declining birthrates, changes to the traditional family structure and labour force participation by women.
No prior knowledge skills or experience are required to take this module and it is suitable for specialist and non-specialist students.
