Die Institutionen moderner Gesellschaften produzieren Spannungsverhaltnisse zwischen den Generationen. Das Buch gibt einen Uberblick uber neuere Lebenslauftheorien. Es pruft in empirischen Analysen, ob institutionelle Ordnungen zu unterschiedlichen nationalen Mustern von Jugendarbeitslosigkeit und Arbeitslosigkeit im Alter fuhren, ob Jugendarbeitslosigkeit durch Fruhverrentungen gesenkt wurde, und ob das deutsche Rentenversicherungssystem Normen intergenerationaler Gerechtigkeit entspricht.

Wie beeinflusst die Wende das Leben der Menschen in Ostdeutschland bis heute? Die Autoren untersuchen, wie junge Erwachsene auf die Probleme des Systembruchs reagiert haben und als "Generation der Wende" seither die ostdeutsche Gesellschaft verandern. Der Band zeigt Veranderungen von Erwerbsverlaufen, von Mustern der Familiengrundung und der sozialen Mobilitat. Er geht der Frage nach, wie sich in Betrieben neue Generationsstrukturen bilden, wie erfolgreich Arbeitsmarktpolitik ist, und pruft, welche Mentalitatsveranderungen der Transformationsprozess nach sich zieht. Grundlage der Studie sind die Langsschnittdaten der "Berufsverlaufsstudie Ostdeutschland" des Sfb 186, biographische Interviews und Expertengesprache.

Lebenslaufanalyse und Biografieforschung haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einem zentralen Instrument der Untersuchung von Individualisierung in dynamischen Gesellschaften entwickelt.
