abstract: 'Older adults are delaying retirement and remaining in the paid workforce
longer than in previous decades. There are many potential explanations
for this trend. In this study, it is hypothesized that the ease or
difficulty of traveling may significantly influence the labor force
participation of older adults, just as it does for other working-age
adults. As they age, older adults can face a number of barriers to
mobility. The hypothesis is tested using data from the 2012 California
Household Travel Survey (CHTS) and propensity score matching. The paper
focuses on the effects of automobile ownership and transit access on the
employment status of older adults (60+), controlling for a host of
characteristics associated with the likelihood of employment. The
analysis shows that transportation access has a substantial and positive
association with employment for older adults, particularly older adults
living in low-income households (those earning less than \$35,000 per
year). Access to jobs by public transit is especially influential among
low-income older adults who live in households without automobiles. The
findings underscore the importance of enhancing the transportation
environment such that it allows older adults to travel regularly on
their own by car or, in dense urban neighborhoods, by public transit.
Limitations to this study suggest the need for additional quantitative
analysis of longitudinal data as well as qualitative analysis of data
from interviews and focus groups.'
