%X This article investigates to what degree the standardized life cycle has been                replaced by an individualized life course, characterized by the absence of a strict                sequence and timing of life's transitions. In order to measure the                normative position of people, rather than the external conditions to which they are                subject, the test is based on the ideal life course or life cycle as described by a                purely random sample of 4666 inhabitants of Belgium, aged 18 to 36. The available                evidence overwhelmingly points towards the persistence of a standardized ideal life                cycle, characterized by a strict sequence and timing of the important transitions.
