Renowned researchers from the fields of sociology, psychology, educational science, economics, and survey methodology have used the (longitudinal) data for their substantive and/or methodological questions and present important results of their research projects. This edited volume contains contributions from the following four topics: (1) Competence Development: Individual Characteristics, Learning Environments, and other Contextual Factors, (2) Educational Transitions and Pathways: Influencing Factors and Outcomes, (3) Vocational Training and Labour Market, and (4) Individuals with Migration Background. It provides essential insights for researchers, postdocs, PhD students, and university students of different scientific disciplines interested in educational sciences as well as for policy makers who have to deal with educational problems in modern societies.engGerman National Educational Panel Study (NEPS)Education as a lifelong processChild developmentleaning environmentsCompetence development over the life courseGender differences in educationGender differences in competence developmentLocal Structural Equation Modeling of Longitudinal DataOccupational sex segregation in GermanyMinority students first language and school successVocational TrainingAlternative Routes to higher educationHigher education in GermanyFurther Training in GermanyOpen Access370bookurn:nbn:de:bvb:473-irb-591850
