Employment trajectories and health of older female employees
Abstract
"In Germany, the labour market participation of women in higher working age has significantly increased over the last years. The awareness of the specific situation of this group with regard to health aspects helps to enable their further labour market participation. This doctoral thesis provides an overview of the employment trajectories and current employment and health situations of older female employees and investigates the relationships between<br> - different types of employment trajectories and old-age security<br> - precarious employment and functional health status<br> - working in gender-segregated occupations and depressive symptoms as well as<br> - changes in working conditions and changes in mental health status."
