This research studies the relationship between perceived discrimination at work and the mental health status (measured by the CES-Depression scale) of women in retirement age using the National Longitudinal Survey of Mature Women (NLSMW). In 2003 Pavalko et al. studied the relationships between workplace discrimination and women's physical and emotional health, looking at the predictors of perceived discrimination in the workplace and subsequent health effects due to that workplace discrimination. They found that emotional health is affected by recent workplace discrimination but not by earlier instances of workplace discrimination, whereas early workplace discrimination, controlling for prior health, attitudes, occupational differences, personal characteristics and prior reports of workplace discrimination, can affect physical health in later years.

520 $a While Pavalko et al. focus on the cumulative effects of repeated exposure to workplace discrimination, research that includes childhood effects and accumulated disadvantage lends more insight into the relationship between perceived workplace discrimination and mental health in later life. This research looks, therefore, at the mental health of women in retirement age in relationship to earlier instances of work-related discrimination using a perspective that takes into account childhood factors, marital history, family characteristics, work histories and accumulated disadvantage (the death of a parent and/or child, being on welfare at some point in time, etc.).
520 $a Results indicate that higher levels of education for the head of household when the respondent was 15 and for the respondent herself, self-reported excellent or good health, more weeks on average per year in the labor force, and labor force participation at the time of depression measurement act as protective agents against depression in old age. Life circumstances that increase the odds of depression are being black, living in a single parent family when the respondent was 15 years of age, multiple marriages, prior depressive events, and instances of perceived discrimination in the workplace, whether recent or past.
