Life Course in the Making

On the occasion of its 20^th anniversary and the first release of data of its 2^nd cohort, the Swiss TREE (Transitions from Education to Employment) multi-cohort survey and the University of Bern co-organised the 4^th International Conference on Transitions in Youth and Adulthood. The conference’s focus was on the multi-dimensionality, the intersectionality and the societal embeddedness of various life course stages and transitions.
