Life Event Simulations

We will examine to what extent it possible for individuals to influence the course of their lives. The focus will be on how demographic, psychological and physiological characteristics of an individual influence its course of life, how these characteristics interact with each other and how these characteristics will reduce or enhance the ability of the individual to influence its course of life. Based on these theoretical frameworks, we will build a statistic model which will enable us to predict probable futur Life Events of individuals. We will use these predictions to implement a tool which will present the causal relations of the courses of life of people with different demographic, psychological and physiological characteristics. User can enter different combinations of characteristics into the tool and thus get an understanding of how these characteristics will influence the course of a life.
