Toward a Life Course Framework for Studying Vulnerability (2017, unknown): “For example, Widmer and Ritschard (2009) analyzed data from the Swiss Household Panel and confirmed that processes of destandardization occurred from the late 1960s onwards.”
What matters in differences between life trajectories: a comparative review of sequence dissimilarity measures (2016, methodology): “Sequence analysis is now a key method used to study the spans of life trajectories and careers (e.g. Bras et al. (2010), Widmer and Ritschard (2009) and Schumacher et al. (2012)).”
De-standardization and gender convergence in work–family life courses in Great Britain: A multi-channel sequence analysis (2015, background): “For example, Widmer and Ritschard (2009) observed, for the Swiss Household Panel, that women’s employment trajectories became more diverse over time, while men’s did not change.”
Gendered key events in the life course: effects on changes in travel mode choice over time (2014, background): “Even though economic inequality, norms or ideologies may foster such 'standard trajectories', considerable de-standardisation of life paths has been observed over time in Germany (Kohli, 2007; Scherger, 2009), Switzerland (Widmer and Ritschard, 2009) and the USA (Liefbroer and Elzinga, 2012).”
