Description
Late-life labour force participation and health are determined not only by recent lifestyles and work place conditions, but also by factors earlier in life; possibly dating back to fetal stage or prior generations. The pathways from early life conditions to later life outcomes may be direct, through permanent but latent damage that manifests itself later in life, or indirect, for example via socioeconomic achievement and life-styles. When analyzing health conditions and labour market performance in older ages, focus therefore should not only be on contemporary conditions, but also on conditions over the life course, beginning in early childhood. This seminar will bring together researchers working at the intersection of labour market participation, retirement, and health and will shed light on the life-course processes that influence labour market performance and older-age health. The 4-day seminar consists of a A. 3-day course on causal mediation analysis (by Prof. Tyler VanderWeele, Harvard University), and B. One-day workshop with presentations on life-course, health and work.| Period | 2016 Sept 26 → 2016 Sept 29 |
