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. |
