Research summary
AI-generated

Ariel Azar studies how people's work histories over their lifetimes—such as employment patterns, retirement timing, and self-employment—relate to their physical and mental health in older age. Much of this research is comparative, examining how different countries' social welfare and pension policies shape these life-course employment trajectories and their health consequences, particularly by gender.
