Abstract：
This study employs multichannel sequence analysis of data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe to explore variations in the association between work-family life trajectories and women\'s mental health across European cohorts born between 1924 and 1965 within different policy contexts. It finds that trajectories characterized by prolonged employment and delayed familial commitments are generally associated with increased depressive symptoms. Notably, the strength of this association varies significantly across cohorts and is notably moderated by defamilization policies. These policies, which aim to reduce dependency on family for managing social risks, buffer mental health challenges in traditional family roles but are less effective for women in trajectories with delayed family formation. This investigation highlights the nuanced ways in which historical and cultural contexts alongside policy environments shape mental health outcomes at various life stages, offering valuable insights into our understanding of health disparities across the life course, with an emphasis on exposure to changing institutions.
摘要：
这项研究采用了来自健康调查的数据的多通道序列分析，老龄化,和退休在欧洲，以探讨不同的政策背景下，在1924年至1965年之间出生的欧洲队列中，工作-家庭生活轨迹与女性心理健康之间的关联变化。研究发现，以长期就业和延迟家庭承诺为特征的轨迹通常与抑郁症状增加有关。值得注意的是,这种关联的强度在不同的队列中显著不同,并且显著受到去诽谤政策的调节.这些政策,旨在减少对家庭管理社会风险的依赖，缓冲传统家庭角色中的心理健康挑战，但对家庭形成延迟的轨迹中的女性效果较差。这项调查强调了历史和文化背景以及政策环境在不同生命阶段塑造心理健康结果的细微差别。为我们对整个生命过程中健康差异的理解提供有价值的见解，强调接触不断变化的机构。
