“…We mention two papers that focus on determinants of out-of-pocket health expenditures (OOPE) in the last year of life among Mexicans aged 50 and older. Salinas-Escudero et al (2019) use MHAS data to construct a sample of those who died between 2001 and 2012, while Zazueta-Borboa and Ham-Chande (2021) do similarly for those who died between 2001 and 2015. The focus on the last year of life is motivated by the fact that out-of-pocket health expenditures tend to be much greater in the last year of life than in prior years, often contributing to extreme economic hardship for the individuals and their families.…”

Objectives: The paper offers an expanded framework for conducting empirical research on resilient aging. Methods: We review the conceptual frameworks for resilient aging and incorporate the role of economic factors as resources that contribute to resilience, in addition to social and psychological factors emphasized in the existing literature. Moreover, the idea of reinforcing cycles of resilience is incorporated in the framework. Existing empirical evidence that supports the conceptual arguments is presented. Results: Examples from Mexico and other low-middle-income countries are included, as well as from high-income countries. Data requirements for applying the conceptual framework in empirical analysis and the state of data availability are examined. We illustrate the measures that are available for this purpose using the Mexican Health and Aging Study. Discussion: We discuss and conclude that the state of the field is rich in data to conduct empirical work on resilience in old age.

“…The level of dependence is related to their physical and cognitive abilities 19 . Previous literature has documented how health status and dependency can affect work activity in adults aged 50 and older; specifically, living with dependency has been associated with fewer years of paid work, a lower likelihood of men being economically active, and poor work performance due to physical limitations 20 , 21 , 22 .…”

In Mexico, the economically active population aged over 50 years has been increasing in recent years. Due to their age, these workers may experience health deterioration and require some form of care. However, only formal employment is associated with better access to health services and pensions. At the same time, these workers may also need to care for children, sick partners or dependent older adults, which limits their time available for employment. This study examined the association between disability, receiving and providing care and access to health services, and economic activity among adults aged 50 to 69 in Mexico in 2015 and 2018. Multilevel modeling was conducted using data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). The MHAS is a longitudinal panel study of adults aged 50 years and older. The study sample included data from 8,831 observations from 2015 and 10,445 observations from 2018. Those living with some degree of disability and receiving care were found to be less likely to be economically active than those living with disability and not receiving care. Similarly, individuals who care for someone were also found to be less likely to be employed. Furthermore, the data suggested that individuals without access to health services were more likely to be economically active. For individuals aged 50 to 69 years, health and care issues were factors that limited economic activity status. In family-oriented societies with weak welfare states, the right to health is partial for the population and care is traditionally the responsibility of women, which exacerbates gender inequalities and has a differential impact on paid work for men and women.
