Birthplace, perinatal loss, and the parity—post-reproductive mortality relationship
Black/white differences in the relationship between debt and risk of heart attack across cohorts
Debt is predictive of heart attack risk, but the direction and strength of the relationship varies by type of debt, debtors' racial identity, and economic context
Adolescent neighborhood disadvantage and memory performance in young adulthood
Landfall After the Perfect Storm
Analyses of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) between 1992 and 2014 compare the relationship between different levels and forms of debt and heart attack risk trajectories across four cohorts. Although all cohorts experienced growing household debt, including the increase of both secured and unsecured debt, they nevertheless encountered different economic opportunity structures and crises at sensitive times in their life courses, with implicat…
Race/Ethnic and Educational Disparities in the Association Between Pathogen Burden and a Laboratory-Based Cumulative Deficits Index
Aging and the Life Course, Theories of
The life‐course perspective provides an orienting framework for identifying the mechanisms that link lives and social structures in historical time. It focuses on the intersection between biography and history. Accordingly, the conceptualization of time is a central concern. Biographical time is defined by the links between chronological age, psychophysical development and/or decline, and successive social statuses. Biographies are variable seque…
Aging and the Life Course
This essay reviews major elements of aging and life course research, its foundations, frontiers, and research challenges. This research examines how human lives are organized and manifested across the life span in different environments. The first foundation of life course research is the historical observation of the institutionalization of the life course; that is, how it became standardized in industrialized contexts through the operation of w…

Race-Ethnicity and Health Trajectories
Racial-ethnic disparities in static levels of health are well documented. Less is known about racial-ethnic differences in age trajectories of health. The few studies on this topic have examined only single health outcomes and focused on black-white disparities. This study extends prior research by using a life course perspective, panel data from the Health and Retirement Study, and multilevel growth curve models to investigate racial-ethnic diff…
The Changing Life Course

SSS Presidential Address
Recent patterns of labor exit in late life in the United States are increasingly heterogeneous. This heterogeneity stems from diverse employment careers that are emerging in the workplace where job security is declining. Individuals' structural locations in the labor market expose them to diverse risks for employment and income security at older ages. Among those risks are access to institutional mechanisms for retirement saving and the requireme…
Retirement
Retirement has traditionally been defined as an age‐related and permanent transition from an income status based on employment to one based on transfers and assets at the end of the work career. The relationship of retirement to age has been defined more by state and market institutions that have provided age‐based incentives to exit the labor force than by the physical aging process itself. These institutions developed since the late nineteenth …
Gender differences in the link between childhood socioeconomic conditions and heart attack risk in adulthood
A growing body of evidence shows that childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is predictive of disease risk in later life, with those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds more likely to experience poor adult-health outcomes. Most of these studies, however, are based on middle-aged male populations and pay insufficient attention to the pathways between childhood risks and specific adult disorders. This article examines gender differences in the li…
Gender and the Devolution of Pension Risks in the US
This article uses data from multiple waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine inequality in the accumulation of pension balances in private accounts for two cohorts of workers in the US. The new occupational pension environment is characterized by the rise of defined contribution plans and the devolution of risk and responsibility for retirement saving. While men and women in this environment face new pension risks, women continue t…
The effects of social origins, life events, and institutional sorting on adults' school transitions
Processes of Cumulative Adversity
Findings suggest that future research should consider how processes of cumulative adversity initiated in childhood influence health outcomes in older ages
New Risks for Workers
This paper considers the changing social institution of employersponsored pensions within the framework of the sociology of risk. Employer-sponsored pensions are elements of a variable and changing occupational welfare system in which the risk and responsibilities for retirement income security have shifted from employer to worker through the expanding role of third-party vendors (insurers). Risk processes can be identified at the employer, insur…
The Race Is to the Swift
The “winners” in today’s winner‐take‐all labor markets are differentiated by advanced levels of educational attainment, especially higher degrees. This article applies a sociological model of cumulative dis/advantage to the baby‐boom cohort to examine whether life course timing differences in educational attainment help explain wage differentials by midlife. It finds that advantaged social origins lead to early postsecondary completion of degrees…
Couples’ Retirement Timing in the United States in the 1990s
The timing of retirement among married couples is a complex process. As women remain atiached to the labor market for longer periods of their lives and as they bring market resources such as pensions and health insurance to the couple’s retirement decision, they introduce new contingencies to the process and variability in job exits. Couples are most likely to coordinate their retirement timing to be as simultaneous as possible. However, the seco…

The Precious and the Precocious
The explanation of increasing heterogeneity and inequality within aging cohorts is a central concern of the life-course perspective and common ground for demographers, economists, historians, sociologists, and psychologists alike. Income and wealth inequality among the aged is one area of shared interest where cross-disciplinary fertilization is occurring. While indices of aged economic inequality applied across different data sets replicate the …

Delayed Career Entry, Industrial Pension Structure, and Early Retirement in a Cohort of Unmarried Women
The effects of early family and work patterns and industrial pension structures on the timing of retirement among unmarried women are examined within a life course perspective. The retirement process is viewed in a longitudinal framework with similar combinations of factors influencing successive stages of final withdrawal from work. Logistic regression techniques are applied to data from a panel of unmarried women workers of retirement age to pr…

Social Class and Social Time Perspective
The present research introduces and provisionally tests an improved methodological procedure (the Social Time Perspective Scale) for determining class-linked differences in the way persons anticipate the future and orient their behavior to it. Data for this analysis are drawn from a sample of freshmen in college who come largely, but not entirely, from middle-class backgrounds and from a sample of Job Corpsmen who come primarily from lower-class …

Gender-Cohort Succession and Retirement Among Older Men and Women, 1951 to 1984
Long-term trends in occupational change and retirement policy have influenced the relative labor force participation and retirement patterns of subgroups of the older population. Structural changes in the economy have had a large impact on older men and women, pushing the former out of the labor force while pulling the latter in. Meanwhile, the expansion of pension programs for the aged has generally increased the early retirement of men under ag…

Labor Market, Pension Rule Structure and Retirement Benefit Promise for Long-Term Employees
This study explores the importance of pension rule structures for understanding the effects of firm compensation practices on the stratification of the labor force. Examination of the pension rule structures of 146 firms offering 165 separate pension plans reveals that final benefit levels upon retirement are regulated by criteria relating to plan participation and the timing of retirement, which treat earnings groups differently
Joint Retirement in the Dual Worker Family
The large increase in labor force participation rates of older women has raised questions regarding the joint timing of retirement among older working couples. We define three patterns of family retirement: joint retirement in which both spouses retire at the same time; substitute retirement, a pattern in which the wife works after the husband; and secondary retirement, a pattern in which the husband works longer than the wife. Using data from th…
The Pension Mix for Women in Middle and Late Life
Family Life Cycle, Work Career Patterns, and Women's Wages at Midlife
Social gerontologists generally agree that the status of the elderly in the US and in other industrial countries is quite low but their status is not uniformly high in nonindustrial societies. The status of the elderly tends to be high in agricultural societies because the elderly usually control property right; elderly status is lower in hunter-gatherer societies because resourses are usually open to all. The status of the elderly tends to be hi…
Women at Middle Age
The shapes of women's lives have changed over the twentieth century as a result of declining fertility, extended longevity, new life-styles in marriage and family formation, and increased attachment to the labor force. Midlife role transitions for women are diverse and dependent upon earlier life events related to marriage, child bearing, and work. Trends such as the postponement of marriage and child bearing, divorce and separation, and early ca…

Masters and milieus
The history of sociology is usually transmitted as a biographical parade of the „masters”︁ and their knowledge claims through time. This approach tends to portray the sociological enterprise as cumulative with empirical-analytic rather than historical-hermeneutic or critical features and often fails to convey the „sociological imagination”︁ to the student. Another approach to the history of sociology, one emphasizing history as method rather than…
