Levy, R., Widmer, E.D. (2013). Preface. In: Levy, R., Widmer, E.D. Gendered life courses between standardization and individualization. A European approach applied to Switzerland. Lit Verlag, Wien, pp. 1-10.

This volume addresses a series of questions that recent literature on life courses has raised. Two major empirical debates are about whether life courses are sex-typed, and whether they are in the process of de-standardization. Both questions are clearly interrelated.
