Studying time use variations in 18 countries applying a life course perspective
To gain insight in variations in life courses during last decades, and the factors underlying these
variations, time use data seem suited. By means of analyzing time use data insight is gained in
the (relative) importance of various life spheres as paid work, household work, volunteer aid,
care, anc education in and over people's life. The relevance of an integrated insight in the relation
between paid work and these other life spheres seems to have grown with the introduction and
(policy) application of the idea of "transitional labour markets". Time use variations during
(individual) life courses in 18 countries are analysed by means of Hierarchical Age-Period-Cohortmodelling
(HAPC). By means of this method the classical APC-riddle, i.e. the fact that the APC
model is underidentified due to a linear dependency among age, period, and cohort, can be
tackled. This paper compares the fixed versus the random-effects model specifications for APCanalysis.
The random-effects HAPC-model appears the most appropriate specification. The
analyses find evidence in support of quadratic age effects on time use. Furthermore, the analyses
find significant cohort and period effects. Finally, the period effects as well as the welfare state
effects indicate a non-negligible sensitivity for economic circumstances and welfare policies
Time use during the life course in the USA, Norway, and the Netherlands: a HAPC-analysis
This paper analyses life course variations by means of Hierarchical Age-Period-Cohort-modelling
(HAPC) of time use data for thee welfare states: the USA, Norway, and the Netherlands. By
means of analyzing time use data insight is gained in the (relative) importance of various life
spheres as paid work, household work, volunteer aid, care, anc education in and over people's
life. The relevance of an integrated insight in the relation between paid work and these other life
spheres seems to have grown with the introduction and (policy) application of the idea of
"transitional labour markets". This paper aims to find out the relevance of age, period and cohort
as underlying factors in population ageing and change. The author compares the fixed versus the
random-effects model specifications for APC-analysis. The random-effects HAPC-model appears
the most appropriate specification. The HAPC analyses find evidence in support of quadratic age
effects on time use. Furthermore, the HAPC analyses find proof in support of the contentions in
the literature that both cohort and period effects should be distinguished in life course analyses.
Finally, the analyses show clear differences in time use patterns during the life course between
the welfare states. These may indicate a non-negligible sensitivity for welfare policies with
respect to reconciling life domains during the life course

Towards Sustainable OER Practices: The Case of Bachelor Nursing in the Netherlands
From 2017–2020, 15 universities collaborated to create and share OER for a bachelor nursing program. A study was undertaken to analyse the impact of the project activities leading to the commitment to work towards sustaining the initiative.
The project was described using the ESH model (Weggeman, 2000). Two sub-studies provided the results on the positive and negative impact of specific project activities and the impact of the project on the desired behaviour of educators, sharing and reusing OER. Rogers’ theory of diffusion of innovation is used to interpret the results (Rogers, 2003).
The main findings of the study are that defining and using a quality model for OER was crucial for the success of the project. For sustaining the activity after project ending, decision makers were involved immediately from the start. The management style with many responsibilities for the project members had a positive indirect impact on project outcomes
