The Life Course of Unemployment and Midlife Health Journal of Aging and Health published online (6 May 2022): DOI: 10.1177/08982643221091775 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Health, Mental/Psychological; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Unemployment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Objectives: We estimate associations between unemployment trajectories from ages 27-49 and physical and mental health at age 50. Methods: Data are from the U.S. National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 (N=6434). Group-based trajectory models are used to identify unemployment trajectories. Generalized linear models with a modified Bolck, Croon, and Hagenaars (BCH) correction are used to regress health on unemployment trajectory groups. Results: We identified "Consistently Low (70%)," "Decreasing Mid-Career (18%)," and "Persistently High (12%)" unemployment trajectories. Experiencing Decreasing Mid-Career or Persistently High trajectories was associated with worse physical and mental health at age 50 than Consistently Low trajectories. Experiencing a Persistently High trajectory was associated with worse physical and mental health than a Decreasing Mid-Career trajectory. |
