Резюме	Multiple case-based biographical research combines the cross-case replication logic of multiple case study design with the in-depth life-history orientation of biographical research. Each individual biography is treated as a bounded case, examined first on its own terms, and then analysed comparatively across cases to identify patterns, contrasts, and transferable insights about how lives are shaped by social, historical, and structural forces.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
