Description
Lauren Schmitz will discuss her research about how physical health, psychological well-being, and productivity around retirement age varies with exposure to early-life economic conditions. Schmitz and colleagues found that changes in employment at the year-of-birth induced significant changes in economic well-being, metabolic syndrome, depressive symptoms, and limitations in performing activities of daily living around age 60.
