Attenuation and reinforcement mechanisms over the life course
分析了生命历程中不同领域间的复杂动态反馈效应,量化了直接与间接影响,并讨论了其对健康和经济不平等的影响。
We analyse the complex dynamic feedback effects between different life domains over the life course, providing a quantification of the direct (not mediated) and indirect (mediated) effects. To extend the analysis in scope and time beyond the limitations of existing data, we use a rich dynamic microsimulation model of individual life course trajectories parameterised and validated to the UK context. We interpret findings in terms of the implied attenuation or reinforcement mechanisms at play, and discuss implications for health and economic inequalities.
