A nationwide retrospective cohort study maps labor market histories and healthcare use in older adults, revealing significant gender differences.

The aim is to map 20-year labor market and healthcare use histories of 66-year-olds in Sweden, focusing on gender differences.
Conducted a 20-year retrospective cohort study using microdata from nationwide registers in Sweden.
Analyzed data from 52,920 women and 51,823 men aged 66 in 2019.
Performed sequence and cluster analysis on yearly dominant labor market states, separated by gender.
Women spent more time in low-income and sickness absence/disability pension states than men.
Majority of each gender were active in the labor market at ages 46-66, although about 30% followed less active paths.
Most common labor market patterns for men consisted of high-income states, while women's patterns included both low- and high-income states.
