Disruptive life events, including transitions in work or family structure, affect health. Research often focuses on one transition rather than thinking of an event framework in which respondents experience multiple transitions across qualitatively distinct domains. This paper contributes original evidence on the effects of event interaction, transition timing, and multiple occurrences of events on health outcomes. I look at employment loss, employment gain, marriage, and divorce as instances of disruptive transitions or instability in the life course; I analyse these events’ effects on self-rated health and depression at ages 40 and 50. I show that employment losses and divorces have significant negative effects on health, and employment gains and marriages show smaller positive effects or null effects. Higher counts of transitions lead to stronger effects on health. Respondents who are older at event occurrence show larger negative effects, suggesting that work and family instability at early ages is not as detrimental to health as such instability at later ages. These results show that there are similarities across work and family domains in effects on health outcomes; moreover, experiencing several transitions can lead to overlaps in effects that might lessen or worsen health outcomes overall.

工作和家庭过渡对健康的影响

破坏性生活事件,包括工作或家庭结构的转变,都会影响健康。研究通常只关注一个过渡,而不是考虑事件框架,在该框架中,受访者会经历质的不同领域的多个过渡。本文为事件相互作用,过渡时间和事件的多次发生对健康结果的影响提供了原始证据。我将就业损失,就业增长,婚姻和离婚视为生活中颠覆性转变或不稳定的例子;我分析了这些事件对40岁和50岁时自我评价的健康和抑郁的影响。我表明,失业和离婚对健康有显着的负面影响,而就业增长和婚姻对正面影响或无效影响较小。过渡次数越多,对健康的影响越大。在事件发生时年龄较大的被调查者表现出较大的负面影响,表明早年的工作和家庭不稳定对健康的危害不及晚年的不稳定。这些结果表明,工作和家庭领域对健康结果的影响相似。此外,经历几次过渡可能会导致效果重叠,从而可能总体上降低或恶化健康结果。
