abstract: 'Policies to extend working life (EWL) assume homogeneous workers face
similar choices about working longer: this may be difficult for women,
workers in physically onerous jobs or in low-paid precarious employment.
Work-life trajectories are gendered; women interrupt employment and
pension-building to provide care. There is occupational variation in
capacities to prolong working lives: physically demanding jobs cause
work-related health deficits. The precariously employed cannot
contribute regularly to pensions and may face age discrimination. This
research provides an inter-occupational and cross-national dimension to
EWL research, comparing women teachers and health-care workers in the
United States of America (USA) and Republic of Ireland. It documents
intra-cohort distinctions that emerge among women when considering
educational opportunities and occupational tracks expressed in
lifecourse trajectories and accumulated capacities for extended work.
Analysis draws on interview data from ten teachers and ten health-care
workers in each country, comparing the implications of EWL policies for
women workers: in precarious versus secure occupations and occupations
with different physical demands. It reveals work-life trajectories
leading to poorer financial and health outcomes for older health-care
workers, especially in the USA. Most women (regardless of occupation or
country) opposed extending working life, with concerns ranging from
health status and ability to work to the desire to have healthy years in
retirement. The most important distinctions are between the occupational
categories considered, rather than cross-national differences.
Implications for national and work-place policy and research are
considered.'
