Every empirical study has its limitations. This chapter highlights the methodological constraints of the study, such as the conflation of age, life stage, and generation in the cross-sectional design, as well as potential sampling biases. The measurement accuracy of individual factors is also critically examined. Suggestions for future research are provided, for example, longitudinal studies and a more detailed assessment of life circumstances. Despite these limitations, the strengths of the study are emphasized, such as surveying only employed individuals and the innovative analytical approach.

摘要

Every empirical study has its limitations. This chapter highlights the methodological constraints of the study, such as the conflation of age, life stage, and generation in the cross-sectional design, as well as potential sampling biases. The measurement accuracy of individual factors is also critically examined. Suggestions for future research are provided, for example, longitudinal studies and a more detailed assessment of life circumstances. Despite these limitations, the strengths of the study are emphasized, such as surveying only employed individuals and the innovative analytical approach.
