The Covid-19 pandemic is shaking fundamental assumptions about the human life course in societies around the world. In this essay, we draw on our collective expertise to illustrate how a life course perspective can make critical contributions to understanding the pandemic's effects on individuals, families, and populations. We explore the pandemic's implications for the organization and experience of life transitions and trajectories within and across central domains: health, personal control and planning, social relationships and family, education, work and careers, and migration and mobility. We consider both the life course implications of being infected by the Covid-19 virus or attached to someone who has; and being affected by the pandemic's social, economic, cultural, and psychological consequences. It is our goal to offer some programmatic observations on which life course research and policies can build as the pandemic's short- and long-term consequences unfold.
新冠疫情正在动摇世界各地社会对人类生命历程的基本假设。在本文中，我们借助集体专业知识来说明生命历程视角如何能为理解疫情对个人、家庭和人群的影响做出重要贡献。我们探讨疫情对核心领域内及跨核心领域的生命转变和轨迹的组织与体验的影响：健康、个人控制与规划、社会关系与家庭、教育、工作与职业，以及移民与流动。我们既考虑感染新冠病毒或与感染者有接触所带来的生命历程影响；也考虑受疫情的社会、经济、文化和心理后果影响。我们的目标是提供一些纲领性的见解，随着疫情短期和长期后果的显现，生命历程研究和政策可以以此为基础。
