Occupational Characteristics and Life Course Health: Evidence From NLSY97 Presented: Online, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, May 2021 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Control; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Job Characteristics; Job Hazards; Life Course; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Supervisor Characteristics Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this study, I examine the associations between health and occupational characteristics in early adulthood, a time in life when individuals transition to spending more hours at work each day. Specifically, I examine the link between self-reported health and physical demands, degree of exposure to adverse environmental conditions, degree of influence, someone's job control and level of supportive managerial practice in one's job from age 18 to age 37. Building both from life course and cumulative disadvantage theory, I develop hypotheses about how differential exposure to occupational characteristics lead to a differentiation in health trajectories among cohort members, differentially by gender and age. Combining data from NLSY97 with the O*NET, I find that occupational characteristics are related to health trajectories in the early work life. This study also provides new evidence on how occupational characteristics play out in gendered contexts, and shed light on patterns of selection into occupations. |
