Glossary LIVES BETA VERSION

Welcome to the BETA version of LIVES wiki-glossary! With about 20 central concepts described and explained at the time being, this initiative aims to make interdisciplinary research on vulnerability in a life course perspective simpler and more straightforward.

Researchers will soon benefit from these definitions for the analysis of vulnerability in a life-course perspective.
