Irma’s distinctive contribution has been to undertake empirically robust quantitative research, based on mature longitudinal data from same individuals and households over time, to deliver a rigorous and holistic perspective on life course and career dynamics. For her research she has analysed a range of secondary collected longitudinal panel data sets, covering Australia (the HILDA Survey), the U.S. (PSID), Germany (GSOEP), the Netherlands (OSA panel), United Kingdom (BHPS and Understanding Society), and Spain (the Spanish Labor Force Survey). She has also used administrative (register data) from the Central Bureau of Statistics in the Netherlands in combination with the Dutch OSA panel linking parents' unemployment histories with their children's educational trajectories.
