4211 - The Roots of Inequality: Early and Mid-Life Determinants of Health and Well-being in Later Life

Tue, August 14, 10:30am to 12:10pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, 105AB

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

Race, class, and gender shape patterns of health and well-being in later life. But the roots of those disparities appear far earlier in the life course. To what extent are these difference rooted in childhood conditions, such as limited socioeconomic resources? How important are mid-life experiences, ranging from work and family conditions to engagement in healthy behaviors, in shaping later life outcomes? This session will explore the role of a wide array of early and mid life factors in shaping differences in health and well-being later in life.
