Abstract
Abstract Work precarity may affect workers’ physical, mental, and social well-being as navigating uncertain and insecure work conditions interacts with factors such as housing, family caretaking, and personal relationships. In particular, the service sector has long been characterized by work precarity as compared to other industries in the US, where noncollege workers are far more vulnerable to non-standard and low-wage work and Black, Indigenous, and workers of color are overrepresented. For older adults, structural and systemic inequities may exacerbate health conditions and accelerates biological aging. In this study, we measure work precarity among noncollege older workers (55-75 years old) in three large and growing service sector industries in the US: health care, retail, and food service, to access the impact of work precarity on older low-wage worker’s health outcomes, exits from the formal wage labor workforce, and linkages between work precarity and health disability.
期刊介绍：
Innovation in Aging, an interdisciplinary Open Access journal of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA), is dedicated to publishing innovative, conceptually robust, and methodologically rigorous research focused on aging and the life course. The journal aims to present studies with the potential to significantly enhance the health, functionality, and overall well-being of older adults by translating scientific insights into practical applications. Research published in the journal spans a variety of settings, including community, clinical, and laboratory contexts, with a clear emphasis on issues that are directly pertinent to aging and the dynamics of life over time. The content of the journal mirrors the diverse research interests of GSA members and encompasses a range of study types. These include the validation of new conceptual or theoretical models, assessments of factors impacting the health and well-being of older adults, evaluations of interventions and policies, the implementation of groundbreaking research methodologies, interdisciplinary research that adapts concepts and methods from other fields to aging studies, and the use of modeling and simulations to understand factors and processes influencing aging outcomes. The journal welcomes contributions from scholars across various disciplines, such as technology, engineering, architecture, economics, business, law, political science, public policy, education, public health, social and psychological sciences, biomedical and health sciences, and the humanities and arts, reflecting a holistic approach to advancing knowledge in gerontology.
