Abstract
This paper analyzes recent developments in comparative research. It argues that the availability of new cross-national datasets, together with recent methodological developments, mark the beginning of a new era in comparative research. The paper also critically assesses the research goals of comparative research in relation to their theoretical underpinnings and analytical strategies. The paper concludes with a discussion of promising avenues of research, including the cross-national analysis of life-trajectories and the impact of policies on age-graded transitions.
