Call for Papers

25 years of longitudinal surveys in Switzerland

Deadline: January 17th, 2024

To celebrate 25 years of longitudinal surveys in Switzerland, the Swiss Household Panel (SHP) and Transitions from Education to Employment (TREE), two of the longest running longitudinal surveys, are jointly organising a conference, to take place in Lausanne on June 4-5, 2025.

The conference will include thematic sessions on a wide variety of topics, including education and labour market pathways, development of health and well-being, socio-economic inequality and mobility, family formation and dynamics, gender, ethnic minorities and migration, politics and attitudes, and methodological issues in longitudinal surveys. We also invite proposals for sessions (90-minute symposia with typically three related presentations).

We welcome all contributions based on longitudinal data, such as the SHP, TREE, the ›Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe‹ (SHARE), and the ›Swiss Survey of Children and Youth‹ (COCON). Contributions based on longitudinal data from other countries are also welcome. The language of the conference is English.
