Cumulative disadvantages of non-employment and non-standard work for career patterns and subjective well-being in retirement

“…They are tightly connected to traditional family patterns, i.e. married with 1 to 2 children (Madero-Cabib & Fasang, 2016). Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as France fall out of the classification depending on variables of interest.…”

Chile

“…We suggest that policy measures that seek to foster economic and physical wellbeing in old age should not exclusively focus on promoting extended labour force participation in old age, but also to consider other life experiences and previous stages of lifecourse. This perspective-which in international literature is known as 'lifecourse sensitive policy approach' (Leisering, 2003;Madero-Cabib and Fasang, 2016-indicates that adequate social and individual conditions in old age rely on multiple experiences across the lifecourse such as: (1) the transition to the labour market once compulsory education is finished in early adulthood; (2) risk prevention policies as well as the promotion of healthy lifestyles in workplaces across the whole occupational trajectory; (3) adequate possibilities of balancing family and work life in middle adulthood; (4) public transport and mobilisation policies in cities and towns designed with older adults in mind; (5) the presence of strict anti-age discrimination policies.…”

Educational assortative mating and couples’ linked late-life employment trajectories

“…To identify couples' linked employment trajectories in later life, we applied multichannel sequence analysis (MCSA) (Gauthier, et al, 2010;Madero-Cabib & Fasang, 2016;Pollock, 2007) with the TraMineR package in R (Gabadinho, Ritschard, Studer, & Müller, 2009). A key strength of MCSA is that it enables the simultaneous analysis of longitudinal employment data for both partners, whereas the findings of cross-sectional methods would strongly depend on the specific age at which partners are observed.…”

“…As a result, labor force participation of older people has increased since the 1990s, with a particularly rapid rise in the employment of older women (Statistics Netherlands, 2017). As the majority of the growing group of older workers is married, individual late-life employment trajectories are often embedded in couples and spouses' financial and subjective well-being depend on one another (Madero-Cabib & Fasang, 2016).…”
