Multiple Chronic Conditions, Resilience, and Workforce Transitions in Later Life: A Socio-Ecological Model

Abstract

MCC are associated with movement out of the paid workforce in later life. Despite the challenges MCC impose on older workers, having higher levels of resilience may provide the psychological resources needed to sustain work engagement in the face of new deficits. These findings suggest that identifying ways to bolster resilience may enhance the longevity of productive workforce engagement.
