How the Labor Market Affects the Self-Perceived Health of Older Workers. The Evidence From Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs).

The paper aims to analyze the impact of key labor market indicators on the self-assessed health of the population of older workers (aged 55-64). Authors build the econometric models where the dependent variable is the self-perceived health status (for women and men separately). Explanatory variables are selected key indicators of the labor market, covering unemployment, including long-term, inactivity, or under-employment.

This study aims to measure the level of inequalities in social determinants of health (SDH) between two categories of rural areas.
