Yet few studies adopt a life course lens to examine how caregiving accumulates over time to shape health in later life. Most research treats caregiving as a discrete event confined to a single life stage, thereby obscuring its cumulative nature. Using retrospective caregiving histories in the 2017 and 2019 Life History Mail Survey, an off-wave supplement to the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), this study identifies distinct lifespan caregiving profiles among 3194 ever-caregivers through latent class analysis, based on age at first care onset, recurrence, total duration, and overlap. Four profiles emerged: <em>Compressed Caregivers</em> (brief caregiving in later life), <em>Early Enduring Caregivers</em> (early and sustained caregiving), <em>Recurrent Caregivers</em> (multiple sequential caregiving episodes), and <em>Immersed Caregivers</em> (early, prolonged, and overlapping caregiving). Using HRS health measures, we assessed how these caregiving profiles relate to later-life health, stratified by gender. Compared with non-caregivers, women in the <em>Immersed</em> and <em>Early Enduring</em> profiles reported more chronic conditions, women in the <em>Immersed</em> profile experienced more depressive symptoms, and both women and men in the <em>Compressed</em> and <em>Recurrent</em> profiles showed lower odds of cognitive impairment. By linking lifespan caregiving patterns to multiple later-life health domains, this study highlights the importance of a cumulative life course perspective to understanding caregiving’s long-term health impacts. Findings underscore the need for tailored supports that account for caregivers’ diverse and accumulated experiences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47126,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Life Course Research","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 100722"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145822475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings reveal pro-cyclical fertility patterns among natives without a migration background and the children of European immigrants, who postpone childbearing during economic downturns, while the descendants of Turkish and Maghrebi migrants exhibit weaker responses, suggesting a “decoupling” of economic conditions from family formation. The association between unemployment rate and first birth hazards also varies by education level within the parental origin groups considered. Highly educated women delay parenthood in response to rising unemployment while lower-educated women exhibit higher first birth hazards during economic downturns, with particularly strong educational differentiation in children of Turkish immigrants. Such differentials by native-born women’s origin and level of education suggest that groups with structurally limited economic opportunities in the segmented Belgian labour market may consider motherhood as an alternative pathway to career development regardless of economic conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47126,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Life Course Research","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 100710"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145652112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using longitudinal data from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) combined with fine-grained regional information, we show that young people who commute or relocate for a VET position are more likely to secure higher-status VET positions. Yet spatial mobility is only associated with higher occupational status attainment among young people with higher levels of occupational status aspirations, among those originating from structurally weak regions, and among those with at least intermediate secondary school-leaving certificates.

We also investigate (4) whether parent-child mismatches in aspirations depend on the opportunities that a child is afforded in an education system that sorts pupils into distinct tracks, thus shaping educational trajectories and final educational attainment. We use data from two German National Educational Panel Study cohorts (“<em>kindergarten cohort</em>”: <em>N</em> = 4217; “<em>5th grade cohort</em>”: <em>N</em> = 3908). Findings indicate that in school grade 3, 30 % of parent-child dyads have mismatching aspirations; this percentage shrinks to 14–22 % across grades 4–9. Mismatching aspirations are relatively instable, indeed much less stable over time than matching aspirations. Among younger children, aspirations mostly converge to their parents’ aspirations. Among older children, aspirations tend to converge in both directions. We also find that parent-child mismatches in aspirations vary considerably according to the educational track that the child ends up attending in secondary school. We conclude that parents and children incorporate the educational opportunities afforded to the child into their aspirations; aspiration mismatches evolve over time and as a result of institutional influences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47126,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Life Course Research","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 100725"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146133860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While higher-SES parents are consistently more likely to use formal childcare, the reasons for this disparity remain poorly understood principally due to data limitations and the complexity of household dynamics. Drawing on linked Dutch administrative data (2010–2019), we use multichannel sequence analysis to identify distinct “childcare strategies” across the first four years of children’s lives, capturing monthly trajectories of formal childcare use and parental employment. A subsequent multinomial regression models the association between these strategies and socioeconomic status. The results reveal wide variation in the stability, intensity, and timing of formal childcare use, closely intertwined with maternal employment patterns. Children from lower-SES households are more likely to experience complex, fragmented, and fragile childcare trajectories—characterized by delayed entry, irregular usage, and lower alignment with stable employment—confirming and extending findings from prior qualitative research. By quantifying these patterns across a full population cohort, the study demonstrates how childcare complexity itself reflects and reinforces broader social inequalities.

Fourth, unmarried women display larger well-being improvements than married women, whereas other moderators show minimal influence.

Previous findings on this “career trade-off” remain inconsistent restricting policy guidance. This study argues that inconsistencies are primarily rooted in (1) variation in the categorization of educational tracks and (2) differences in institutional context across countries. Two theoretical claims are tested: first, that career disparities between vocational and general education are larger at the secondary than at the tertiary level; second, that the career trade-off is more pronounced in countries with higher vocational specificity. Analyzing over one million person-year observations from harmonized cross-national panel data covering Australia, Germany, South Korea, Switzerland, and the UK indicates that the career trade-off is context-dependent. Late-career disadvantages for vocational graduates appear predominantly at the tertiary level; at the secondary level, vocational graduates often have equal or better employment prospects than general graduates over the career. This suggests that benefits associated with general education are likely confined to those with higher-level qualifications. Comparing employment trajectories across countries reveals a mixed picture challenging the explanatory power of vocational specificity as a macro-level moderator of career differences between types of graduates. Taken together, these findings call for a reassessment of the role of skill specificity in shaping employment disparities over the life course.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47126,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Life Course Research","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 100724"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146168913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
