This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Job Loss and Job Search written by Ute-Christine Klehe PhD and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Job search is and always has been an integral part of people's working lives. Whether one is brand new to the labor market or considered a mature, experienced worker, job seekers are regularly met with new challenges in a variety of organizational settings. Edited by Ute-Christine Klehe and Edwin A.J. van Hooft, The Oxford Handbook of Job Loss and Job Search provides readers with one of the first comprehensive overviews of the latest research and empirical knowledge in the areas of job loss and job search. Multidisciplinary in nature, Klehe, van Hooft, and their contributing authors offer fascinating insight into the diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives from which job loss and job search have been studied, such as psychology, sociology, labor studies, and economics. Discussing the antecedents and consequences of job loss, as well as outside circumstances that may necessitate a more rigorous job hunt, this Handbook presents in-depth and up-to-date knowledge on the methods and processes of this important time in one's life. Further, it examines the unique circumstances faced by different populations during their job search, such as those working job-to-job, the unemployed, mature job seekers, international job seekers, and temporary employed workers. Job loss and unemployment are among the worst stressors individuals can encounter during their lifetimes. As a result, this Handbook concludes with a discussion of the various types of interventions developed to aid the unemployed. Further, it offers readers important insights and identifies best practices for both scholars and practitioners working in the areas of job loss, unemployment, career transitions, outplacement, and job search.

Download or read book The Economic Consequences of Demographic Change in East Asia written by Takatoshi Ito and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-10-15 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies show that almost all industrial countries have experienced dramatic decreases in both fertility and mortality rates. This situation has led to aging societies with economies that suffer from both a decline in the working population and a rise in fiscal deficits linked to increased government spending. East Asia exemplifies these trends, and this volume offers an in-depth look at how long-term demographic transitions have taken shape there and how they have affected the economy in the region. The Economic Consequences of Demographic Change in East Asia assembles a group of experts to explore such topics as comparative demographic change, population aging, the rising cost of health care, and specific policy concerns in individual countries. The volume provides an overview of economic growth in East Asia as well as more specific studies on Japan, Korea, China, and Hong Kong. Offering important insights into the causes and consequences of this transition, this book will benefit students, researchers, and policy makers focused on East Asia as well as anyone concerned with similar trends elsewhere in the world.

Download or read book To BE Or Not to BE? Inequities in Bridge Employment (BE) Characteristics and Mental Health Among Older Workers - A Systematic Review and a Longitudinal Study written by XiaoYu Gong and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bridge employment (BE), generally defined as working for pay after having "fully" retired or first reducing the number of hours worked, then retiring, is perceived as a solution to the challenges faced by aging societies (OECD, 2006; Smaliukiene & Tvaronaviciene, 2014). The OECD and governments of developed countries recognize that working in old age can help older workers remain financially independent and socially engaged (Kim & Feldman, 2000; OECD, 2006). However, despite the purported benefit of working in BE and the increase in participation in BE, empirical studies show that working in BE is not always positively or significantly associated with better mental health. Until this point, the literature on BE and mental health has been mostly focused on the mental health consequences, without further qualifying BE in terms of employment characteristics. Thus, this thesis draws from the sociology of work and labour economic theories and the health and employment literature to disentangle the nuanced conditions under which BE is associated with mental health outcomes.The first empirical chapter is a systematic review of all the studies that have examined the mental health consequences of BE participation by using repeatable and transparent review process that emphasizes the assessment of study quality. The systematic review results demonstrate that the conceptualization of BE is an important factor in influencing mental health outcomes. When BE is conceptualized based on participation, the association between BE and mental health is not significant. However, when BE participation occurs on a voluntary basis (Calvo et al., 2009; Dingemans & Henkens, 2014) and is with the same employer, or within the same occupation (Wang, 2007), BE is associated with better mental health outcomes compared to full retirement (Zhan et al., 2009). The results suggest that there may be a selection effect at play and more nuanced definitions of BE should be employed. Heeding this suggestion, the second and third empirical chapters study the variation in work conditions among those working in BE as well as the various selection processes at play in terms of who engages in what type of BE. These chapters use data from the Health and Retirement Survey from the United States, a nationally longitudinal dataset of older people conducted between 1994 and 2014 inclusively. The analytic sample includes 7967 respondents who stayed in the survey for six to ten years after initial retirement. The second empirical chapter examines how working in BE, in stressful and non-stressful BE, in physically demanding and non-physically demanding BE, and in precarious and less precarious BE are associated with mental health outcomes compared to full retirement. The fixed-effects model automatically controlled for all time-constant factors within the individual. The results show that working in BE in general, in non-stressful BE, in non-physically demanding BE and in less precarious BE are associated with improvements in mental health. Also, the results show that compared to being fully retired, working in stressful BE, physically demanding BE and more precarious BE transitions are not necessarily associated with worse mental health. The third empirical chapter focuses on selection effects to examine how pre-retirement factors are associated with people's participation in BE. The results show that having higher education, better health, and higher income increases people's likelihood of working in BE. This suggests that working in BE (relative to retirement) may be associated with better mental health because of favorable preexisting characteristics. Furthermore, there is strong evidence for path dependency or a life course effect in terms of the quality of BE employment. Financial debt and macroeconomic conditions also complicates the motivation and limitations of BE participation"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part exploration, part knowledge building, and part narration, Work and the Older Person: Increasing Longevity and Well-Being draws on the latest research from a variety of disciplines and resources to paint a complete picture of productivity in old age. Dr. Linda A. Hunt and Caroline E. Wolverson, along with 11 contributors, discuss the relationship between work and aging and highlight the importance of working into old age. Each chapter of Work and the Older Person focuses on narratives from older workers that support the evidence presented with personal stories. These stories illustrate the opportunities, challenges, frustrations, and choices that older people face in maintaining a productive lifestyle. Simultaneously, the text highlights current events and the economy largely within Western societies and discusses the struggle some countries have supplying the financial benefits paid to retirees. Overall, the text shows how working into old age can contribute to longevity and greater quality of life. Occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, gerontologists, social workers, psychologists, and those working with older people in the health and social care sector will appreciate the inspiring accounts from older workers discussing how work contributes to their self-identity, quality of life, health, and well-being. Work and the Older Person: Increasing Longevity and Well-Being shows how engaging in occupations brings purpose to people’s lives. The text will be of value to all professionals working with older adults, as well as older adults themselves looking to maintain a productive lifestyle.
