Phd Linked Lives and Pathways to Death

4 maanden geleden


Rotterdam, Nederland Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam Voltijd

**Introduction**:
How do the health trajectories before death differ across socioeconomic groups? Do the socioeconomic resources of adult children and partners matter for health inequalities at the end of life?

**Job description**:
The PhD position has four main aims. The first aim is to describe health trajectories before death and uncover the presence of a socioeconomic gradient. Second, the causal link between education and health trajectories before death will be examined using a quasi-natural experiment. Third, the role of partnership during the life course will be analyzed. Moreover, this part of the project will examine whether the socioeconomic resources of the partner play a role in the health development preceding death using a couple-level perspective. Finally, the role of adult children’s characteristics (both in terms of SES and family structure) for the parental trajectories of health in the last years of life will be studied. By offering insights into how socioeconomic resources influence health at the family level, this research may help identify health vulnerabilities during the dying process. Join us in this research to uncover and address socioeconomic disparities in health and help to mitigate inequalities at the end of life.
