abstract: 'We employed cumulative dis/advantage and ecological theories to identify
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
risk and protective factors at the individual, family, institutional,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and societal levels that promote employment and health among low-income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
older adults. The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with 26
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
older adults who participated in a federally funded training and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment program for low-income individuals 55+ years of age.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Approximately
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
60\% of participants had experienced a lifetime of disadvantages (e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low levels of formal education, poor physical and mental health,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enduring poverty, physically demanding jobs). Surprisingly, 40\% of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
respondents had higher levels of education, excellent or good health,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consistent lifetime employment, and personal drive to obtain employment,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
but had experienced a major health, economic, or social shock that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
resulted in unemployment, poverty and at times, homelessness. Their life
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stories, as well as the extant literature, enabled us to understand the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
many risk and protective factors across the ecological framework
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with employment and improved health. A holistic,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strengths-based approach, which utilizes the full scope of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
biopsychosocial and service assessments is required to bolster
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and health of low-income older adults.'
