abstract: 'Objectives: In Chile, working after retirement age has grown
|
|
|
|
substantially over the last years. This, in addition to the country''s
|
|
|
|
current discussion about extending retirement age, motivates the need of
|
|
|
|
generating evidence on the occupational health and safety of the working
|
|
|
|
old, with a special focus on women, who are critically disadvantaged in
|
|
|
|
Chile''s labour market. The objective of this paper is to describe and
|
|
|
|
compare the ageing workforce of women and men in Chile in terms of
|
|
|
|
labour market participation, employment and working conditions,
|
|
|
|
work-life balance, and health.The social determinants of health and
|
|
|
|
employment sustainability frameworks guide this study.
|
|
|
|
Data Sources: Cross-sectional data from three publicly available
|
|
|
|
sources: the Chilean Labour Force Survey, NENE (2010); the first Chilean
|
|
|
|
Employment and working conditions survey, ENETS (20092010) and the
|
|
|
|
second National Health Survey, ENS (2009).
|
|
|
|
Methods: Participation rates and employment conditions (NENE and ENETS),
|
|
|
|
working conditions, occupational health and work-life balance (ENETS)
|
|
|
|
and chronic health conditions (ENS) were described by 5-year age groups
|
|
|
|
separately for women and men. Descriptions cover all age groups in order
|
|
|
|
to identify trends and patterns characteristic of older workers.
|
|
|
|
Results: Rates of occupation decrease sharply after age 54 in women and
|
|
|
|
59 in men. Ageing women and men who continue to work are more likely to
|
|
|
|
be in own-account (self-employed) work than younger workers; in the case
|
|
|
|
of women, in households as domestic workers, and men, in agriculture.
|
|
|
|
Social protection and workplace rights are markedly reduced in older
|
|
|
|
workers. Part-time work increases from the age of 50 onwards, especially
|
|
|
|
among women, but average working hours do not decrease under 30 h a week
|
|
|
|
for either women or men. Interestingly, between ages 60 and 64, there is
|
|
|
|
a peak increase of day and night shift-work among women, which co-occurs
|
|
|
|
with a peak in domestic work, possibly corresponding to women working as
|
|
|
|
caretakers of elderly people. Several workplace risks continue to be
|
|
|
|
high into old age: intensive work and demanding physical work,
|
|
|
|
especially in men, and the combination of paid and unpaid care work in
|
|
|
|
women, which continues to be high up to the age of 70 years. The health
|
|
|
|
of older workers is better than that of non-working people of the same
|
|
|
|
age, a gap which is markedly larger for women than men and tends to
|
|
|
|
increase among women as they age.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: Results indicate that Chileans working into old age face
|
|
|
|
precarious jobs with limited protection and several adverse working
|
|
|
|
conditions. Noteworthy, women carry the double burden of paid and unpaid
|
|
|
|
work into their late years. In addition, results suggest they are
|
|
|
|
affected more profoundly by the healthy worker effect whereby the health
|
|
|
|
condition determines the probability of finding and keeping a job-also
|
|
|
|
known as a health selection mechanism-which increases as they age. These
|
|
|
|
employment and working conditions indicate that working into old age is
|
|
|
|
not yet sustainable in Chile and counts as evidence that needs to be
|
|
|
|
taken into account in discussions about delaying the retirement age in
|
|
|
|
the country, as well as incorporating support systems to alleviate the
|
|
|
|
double work burden of ageing working women.'
