chances of obtaining the things required for a secure and happy life


Explanation:
http://www.sociology.org.uk/s3a.pdf
' ... the concept of life chances was originally developed by Max. Weber and he expressed the it as:
"A person's power to obtain a supply of goods, external living conditions and personal life experiences".'

Because of the difficulty in measuring the immaterial element of that definition, it is frequently neglected in research, which tends to concentrate on the material elements, mainly money.

Asker: Bonjour, vous incorporez le terme 'outcome' dans l'idee ? merci d'avance

Asker: merci, donc il est superflu de traduire 'maximise outcomes' puisque l'idee est contenue dans 'perspectives d'avenir' ? N
