Life Trajectories

BackgroundMany young adults leave the labour market because of mental health problems or never really enter it, through early moves onto disability benefits. Across many countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, between 30% and 50% of all new disability benefit claims are due to mental health problems; among young adults this moves up to 50%–80%.OutlineWe propose a research agenda focused on transitions in building young adults’ mental health and early working life trajectories, considering varying views for subgroups of a society. First, we briefly review five transition characteristics, then we elaborate a research agenda with specific research questions.Research agendaOur research agenda focuses on transitions as processes, in time and place and as sensitive periods, when examining young adults’ mental health and early working life trajectories from a life course perspective. As more and more childhood and adolescent cohorts mature and facilitate research on later life labour market, work and health outcomes, transition research can help guide policy and practice interventions.Future cross-disciplinary researchIn view of the many challenges young adults face when entering the changing world of work and labour markets, future research on transitions in young adults related to their mental health and early working life trajectories will provide ample opportunities for collaborative cross-disciplinary research and stimulate debate on this important challenge.

Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health are well-studied with accolades of literature on each topic; however, their interrelationships have been under-described. Mental Health problems can be result of concurrent or past Sexual and Reproductive Health ill event and vice versa. This article presents intersection between Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health based on available literature. Intersections between Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health and their impacts can be studied through life course perspective and needs prioritized attention in case of Gender Based Violence and for people living with disability. The article highlights the importance to explore other aspects such as emotions, gender and sexuality associated with Mental Health and to study and understand physiological and psychological context between Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health. It also stresses the need of further research on intersection between Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health.

Using Data

Traditional theories of grief suggest that individuals experience short-term increases in depressive symptoms following the death of a parent. However, growing evidence indicates that effects of parental bereavement may persist. Situating the short- and long-term effects of parental death within the life course perspective, we assess the combined influence of time since loss and life course stage at bereavement on mental health for maternal and paternal death. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 11,877) to examine biological parental death from childhood to mid-adulthood, we find that those who experience recent maternal or paternal death have heightened depressive symptoms. Furthermore, those who experience maternal death in childhood or paternal death in young adulthood exhibit long-term consequences for mental health. Our findings underscore the theoretical importance of early life course stages and parent’s gender when determining whether depressive symptoms persist following parental bereavement.

Abstract Extensive research documents the outcomes of family caregiving. However, perspectives differ, with some suggesting that caregiving provides psychological rewards and others suggesting that the stress of caregiving carries psychological costs. We argue that both of these perspectives are correct, but their applicability will differ based on the timing of caregiving and the availability of social support. A life course perspective suggests that the timing of a stressor in the life course will create variations in its mental health impacts, whereas a stress process perspective suggests that the consequences of a given stressor for mental health will vary based on the availability of social support. A synthesis of these two perspectives then suggests that social support will act as stress buffer differently depending on the age of caregiver. To examine these questions, we use a subsample of respondents who reported caregiving (N=20,441) in the 1st wave of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. Analyses provide evidence of different outcomes of caregiving, according to both the timing of caregiving and the availability of support. In particular, a high level of caregiving demands are associated with greater depression and lower life satisfaction. Social support inhibits both associations, and the association between high demands and life satisfaction is stronger in older caregivers. Social support does not buffer high caregiving demands more strongly at older ages, though, showing two distinct process. Demanding caregiving appears particularly detrimental for psychological well-being as people age, and the efficacy of social support resources do not increase to compensate.
