The undergraduate self-perception of employability: human capital, careers advice, and career ownership (2019, background): “The transition to work has become increasingly unpredictable (Brooks 2009; Furlong and Cartmel 2007) and individualised (Evans 2007; Heinz 2009); driven by changes within society, education, and the labour market (Tomlinson 2013).”

An empirical example (2010, background): “…that they had matured through non-normative shifts such as parental illness or divorce, having to look after younger siblings or their own children, finding a responsible job, or being forced to become financially independent because their parents could not afford to support them (e.g. Evans 2007).”
A model for study of teacher agency for social justice (2015, methodology): “Study of such context-bound agency requires rich qualitative data and could involve a life-course perspective (Evans, 2007), and mixed method studies of teacher agency at various career stages (Day, Sammons, & Gu, 2008).”
