“…Cognitive and affective impairments may be particularly salient as these may represent the mechanisms by which childhood adversity may directly impact capacity for labour force participation among older adults. Harkonmäki et al (2007) provided some evidence to support this direct pathway between childhood adversity and labour force participation as they found an association between retrospective reporting of a greater number of childhood adversities in a sample of non-retired 40-54 year olds in Finland and an increased risk of permanent sickness in adulthood five years later which was sustained after adjusting for mental health, physical health, and socioeconomic status in adulthood. In addition, Joensuu et al (2015) identified a cluster of young adults on permanent sickness due to mental illness who were characterised by experiences of adversity during childhood which provides further evidence of a direct pathway between adversity and permanent sickness due to mental illness, in adulthood.…”

“…Moreover, previous studies have often focused exclusively on a cumulative adversity measure (e.g. Harkonmäki et al 2007) which limits understanding as to whether particular adversities are driving effects. In addition, the comparability of Finnish or other national cohorts to a UK population is unknown.…”

The Extending Working Lives (EWL) agenda seeks to sustain employment up to and beyond traditional retirement ages. This study examined the potential role of childhood factors in shaping labour force participation and exit among older adults, with a view to informing proactive interventions early in the life-course to enhance indivi C and socioeconomic disadvantage have previously been linked to ill-health across the life-span and sickness benefit in early adulthood. This study builds upon previous research by examining associations between childhood adversity and self-reported labour force participation among older adults (aged 55).Data was from the National Child Development Study a prospective cohort of all English, Scottish, & Welsh births in one week in 1958. There was evidence for associations between childhood adversity and increased risk of permanent sickness at 55 years which were largely sustained after adjustment for educational disengagement and adulthood factors (mental/physical health, qualifications, socioeconomic disadvantage). Specifically, children who were abused or neglected were more likely to be permanently sick at 55 years. In addition, among males, those in care, those experiencing illness in the home, and those experiencing two or more childhood adversities were more likely to be permanently sick at 55 years. Childhood factors were also associated with part-time employment and retirement at 55 years. Severe childhood adversities may represent important distal predictors of labour force exit at 55 years, particularly via permanent sickness. Notably, some adversities show associations among males only, which may inform interventions designed to extend working lives.

BACKGROUND: The authors investigated whether cancer patients who have comorbid mental health disorders (MD) are at greater risk of early retirement compared with those who do not have MD. METHODS: Individuals ages 18 to 55 years from a consecutive sample of patients who were admitted for inpatient oncologic treatment were interviewed using structured clinical interviews to ascertain MD. The patients were followed for 15 months, and the date of early retirement was documented. Rates of early retirement per 100 person-years (py) in patients with and without MD were compared using multivariate Poisson regression models. RESULTS: At baseline, 491 patients were interviewed, and 150 of those patients (30.6%) were diagnosed with MD. Forty-one patients began full early retirement during follow-up. In patients with MD, the incidence of early retirement was 9.3 per 100 py compared with 6.1 per 100 py in mentally healthy patients. The crude rate ratio (RR) was 1.5 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.8-2.8). The effect of MD on early retirement was modified in part by income: in patients with low income, the adjusted RR was 11.7, whereas no effect was observed in higher income groups. Patients with depression were at greater risk of retirement when they had higher income (RR, 3.4; P 5.05). The effects of anxiety (RR, 2.4; P 5.05), adjustment disorders (RR, 1.7; P 5.21), and alcohol dependence (RR, 1.8; P 5.40) on early retirement were equal across income groups. CONCLUSIONS: Mental health conditions are risk factors for early retirement in cancer patients, although this effect differs according to the type of disorder and the patient's income level.

Childhood adversities as a predictor of disability retirement

Abstract: Information on childhood conditions may increase our understanding of the determinants of early retirement, especially due to mental disorders. Childhood adversities should be taken into account when considering determinants of disability retirement and identifying groups at risk.
