abstract: 'Background: Despite a reduction in income inequalities between men and
women, there is still a large gap between income and retirement savings
of Australian men and women. This is especially true for women who have
health or disability problems. Mature age women are closest to
retirement and, therefore, have less chance than younger women to build
up enough retirement savings and may need to continue working to fund
their older age. Continued workforce participation may be particularly
difficult for women who are less healthy. Understanding which health
problems lead to a decrease in workforce participation among mature age
women is crucial. Therefore, this longitudinal study sought to identify
which health problems are associated with employment among midage women
over time.
Methods: Data were analyzed from the midage cohort of the Australian
Longitudinal Study on Women''s Health (ALSWH), which involved 14,200
midage women (aged 45-50 years in 1996). The women have been surveyed
four additional times, in 1998, 2001, 2004, and 2007. Generalized
estimating equations (GEE) were used to conduct nested multivariate
longitudinal analyses.
Results: The percentages of women who were employed in the years 2001,
2004, and 2007 were 77\%, 72\%, and 68\%, respectively. Results were
adjusted for sociodemographic variables. Being employed decreased as
physical and mental health deteriorated and with self-reported
conditions: diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, anxiety, and
other psychiatric conditions. Back pain, arthritis, cancer, obesity, and
being a current smoker are associated with employment but not when
quality of life is added to the model.
Conclusions: There were significant associations between health and
employment. Understanding these relationships could inform policies and
guidelines for preventing declines in employment in mature age women.'
