Racial socialization across the life course: Insights From Three Countries
Indigenous, migrant, and minoritized racial/ethnic peoples experience pervasive racism. Racism prompts families to prepare children for these experiences through racial socialization. In this paper we analyse data from eleven focus groups with 60 Indigenous and minoritized racial/ethnic older people in the UK, the US, and Aotearoa/NZ to explore how racial discrimination over the life course influences racial socialization. Examining experiences r…
The Relationship Between Childhood Circumstances and Late Life Physical and Mental Health: The Role of Adult Socioeconomic Status
OBJECTIVES: Socioeconomic status and health in childhood are linked to health outcomes in later life. Health outcomes may also be shaped by socioeconomic circumstances in adulthood and later life. This paper examined the relationship between childhood conditions and later life health and tested whether this relationship was mediated by later life economic living standards. METHODS: Data from a longitudinal study of aging was combined with retrosp…
Tabulating experiences of racism and racial discrimination across the life course
Indigenous, migrant, racial, and ethnic minority group members report experiences of racism that are lifelong and damaging. To understand the context that shapes these experiences, we developed a tabular approach to analyzing focus group interviews of life course experiences of racism. The approach was grounded in critical realism and narrative analysis. Using these foundations, stories of personal experiences of racism were understood to provide…
Reconciling Work and Caregiving Responsibilities among Older Workers in New Zealand
Measuring living standards of older people using Sen's Capability Approach: Development and validation of the LSCAPE-24 (Living Standards Capabilities for Elders) and LSCAPE-6
The impact of disparities in socio-economic status on the health of older people is an important issue for policy makers in the context of population ageing. As older people live in different types of economic circumstances and because, as people age, their desires and needs are different to those of younger generations, measures of living standards need to be appropriate for older people. This paper reports on the validation of a measure of livi…
Quality of life in indigenous and non-indigenous older adults: Assessing the Casp-12 factor structure and identifying a brief Casp-3
The Influence of Ethnicity and Gender on Caregiver Health in Older New Zealanders
The poorer health of caregivers supports previous findings on the detrimental health effects of caregiving. Caregiving may have more detrimental effects on Māori health outcomes due to existing inequalities in health, barriers to formal support services, and the multiple roles of elder Māori
Development and Validation of a Measure of Living Standards for Older People
The Effects of Types of Social Networks, Perceived Social Support, and Loneliness on the Health of Older People: Accounting for the Social Context
Social network type is a useful way to assess social integration within this model of cascading effects. More detailed information could be gained through the development of our network assessment instruments for older people
The effects of socioeconomic inequalities of working life on health: Implications for an ageing population
This study examines suggestions that inequalities in health related to socioeconomic status (SES) will increase in older age. A representative sample of the New Zealand population aged 55–70 years ( N = 6662) responded to a postal questionnaire with measures of health (SF‐36), SES, and health‐related behaviours. Hierarchical multiple regressions supported predictions that the SES of working life will continue to influence physical and mental heal…
The impact of socio-contextual, physical and lifestyle variables on measures of physical and psychological wellbeing among Māori and non-Māori: The New Zealand Health, Work and Retirement Study
This article provides an overview of the New Zealand Health, Work and Retirement Study (HWR), the focus of which is on determinants of cultural-contextual factors on physical and mental health among 6,662 New Zealand citizens, a nationally representative sample of adults between 55 and 70 years of age. The HWR was initiated in 2006 with two-year re-assessment intervals. The health and wellbeing of older Māori was a study priority as previous rese…
