THE IMPACT OF WORK AND FAMILY ROLES ON LIFE OUTCOMES IN LATE ADULTHOOD

我们建议调查工作和家庭轨迹在生命过程中的影响程度 成年后的身心健康和经济健康直接或通过其影响 对这些结果的更准确的预测。健康和财务福利在多大程度上属于 受个人同时期工作、家庭和其他情况影响的老年人，以及受什么影响 这种结果在多大程度上是由于家庭和劳动力市场的生活经历模式造成的？ 对于女性和男性来说，所有这些过程有什么不同？ 近几十年来，退休年限的含义和性质发生了根本性的变化。 鉴于成功的老龄化越来越依赖于个人自己的规划和资源 较早的年龄；考虑到重新定义了就业关系的广泛的社会变化，妇女的 有偿劳动力市场的参与率和婚姻解离率；考虑到男性劳动力市场的日益多样化 以及女性的工作和家庭轨迹；以及考虑到老年人福祉的日益异质性 在最近的美国人队列中，我们调查了生活过程对工作和家庭模式的影响 成年后的健康和经济状况是及时和重要的。像另一个一样 P01，我们的工作从根本上与理解决定因素有关 在一个不断变化的社会、经济和政策背景下，美国老年人的福祉。 WLS数据包括关于家庭情况和整个生命过程中的转变的详细信息； 职业生涯中的劳动力经历；身心健康和经济福祉 年龄在54岁到65岁之间。我们将使用基于组的轨迹建模技术来表征 从出生到65岁的家庭状况和过渡轨迹以及劳动力的轨迹 从36岁到65岁的经历和接触。认识复杂性和内生性 在涉及的因果关系中，我们将估计这些工作和家庭轨迹的影响 (男性和女性分开)关于成年前后的健康和经济状况 控制对这些结果的更直接的影响。 性能

We propose to investigate the extent to which work and family trajectories across the life course affect physical and mental health and financial well-being in later adulthood either directly or through'their effects on more proximate predictors of these outcomes. To what extent are health and financial well-being among older adults affected by individuals' contemporaneous work, family, and other circumstances and to what extent are such outcomes due to life-course patterns of experiences in the family and the labor market? How do all of these processes differ for women and men? The meaning and nature of the retirement years has changed in fundamental ways in recent decades. Given that successful aging has increasingly come to depend on individuals' own planning and resources at earlier ages; given broad social changes that have redefined employment relationships, women's rates of participation in the paid labor market, and rates of marital dissolution; given growing heterogeneity in men's and women's work and family trajectories; and given growing heterogeneity in the well-being of older Americans in recent cohorts, our investigation of the impact of life course patterns of work and family circumstances on health and financial well-being in later adulthood is timely and important. Like the other proposals that comprise this P01, our work is fundamentally concerned with understanding the determinants of the well-being of older Americans in an era of changing social, economic, and policy contexts. The WLS data include detailed information about family circumstances and transitions across the life course; labor force experiences across the career; and physical and mental health and financial well-being at two points betweenages 54 and 65. We will use group-based trajectory modeling techniques to characterize the trajectories of family circumstancesand transitions from birth through age 65 and trajectories of labor force experiences and exposures from age 36 through age 65. Cognizant of the complexities and endogeneities in the causal relationships involved, we will then estimate the impact of these work and family trajectories (separately for men and women) on health and financial well-being in later adulthood before and after controlling for more proximate influences on these outcomes.
