Working Paper Series

The Life Course Centre Working Paper Series is a high-impact mechanism for disseminating the very latest research on social and economic disadvantage. The pre-publication series enables researchers to share their findings in a timely and accessible way that does not prohibit subsequent publication in most peer-reviewed journals. Our Working Papers contribute substantially to the knowledge base on deep and persistent disadvantage for children and families over the life course, and the development of innovative solutions to address it.

Learn more about the Working Paper Series, including its demonstrated impact and how to submit a paper.
