1.	Socially Structured Survival: the Effects of Occupational Mobility and Occupational Context on Older Men's Mortality Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Washington, 1992 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Income; Marital Status; Mobility, Occupational; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration; Mortality; Occupational Status This dissertation investigates the implications of socially structured lifestyles for older men's survival. Different specifications of occupational effects on mortality are used to examine mobility and contextual influences. Occupational mobility is important because it changes the social structural bases for lifestyle differences in mortality. Changes in occupational status alter not only the risk factors associated with specific occupations but they also change the conditions that give rise to lifestyle differences. Occupational context is important because it affects individuals' use of personal resources. The analyses use data drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience of Mature Men. The contextual analyses show that white collar, blue collar, and farm distinctions are relevant to the effects of income and marital status on men's survival. Typically married men outlive unmarried men and income increases survival. However the marital status of white collar workers does not appear to significantly affect their survival. In contrast the positive effect of income on survival does not seem to hold for men in blue collar or farm occupations.

2.	Mortality Among a Cohort of Older Men Presented: New Orleans, LA, Population Association of America Meetings, April 1988 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Health Factors; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Mortality; Occupational Choice; Working Conditions Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper presents findings from an analysis of occupational differentials in mortality among a cohort of older men ages 55 years and older in the United States for the period 1966-1983. The dynamics which characterize socioeconomic differentials in mortality are analyzed by tracking the changes in status that occur throughout the mature worker's occupational career. We find that the mortality of current or last occupation differs from that of the longest occupation, controlling for education, income, health status, and other factors. These differences are consistent with the notion that individuals in physically demanding or debilitating occupations attempt to avoid the health risks associated with these jobs by changing occupations.

A study examined occupational differentials in mortality among a cohort of men aged 55 and older in the US for the period 1966-1983. Using data from the NLS of Older Men, event histories were constructed for 3,080 respondents who reached the exact age of 55. The dynamics that characterize the socioeconomic differentials in mortality were examined by evaluating the differential effects of occupation over the career cycle. The maximum likelihood estimates of hazard-model parameters showed that the mortality of current or last occupation differed substantially from that of longest occupation, controlling for education, income, health status, and other sociodemographic factors. The rate of mortality was reduced by the substantive complexity of the longest occupation, while social skills and physical and environmental demands of the latest occupation lowered mortality.
