OBJECTIVE: To examine factors associated with perception of work ability in a nationally representative sample of Brazilians aged 50 years and over. METHODS: We used data from 8,903 participants of the baseline survey of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil). The dependent variable was self-rated work ability (good or very good versus fair, poor, or very poor). Independent variables included factors that operate at the beginning, middle, and current stage of life. Multivariate analysis was based on prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) estimated by Poisson regression. RESULTS: Good work ability was reported by 49% of \ participants (49.4% among men and 48.6% among women). Results of the multivariate analysis showed that, for both men and women, good work ability showed positive and statistically significant associations (p < 0.05) with good health up to 15 years of age (PR = 1.22 and 1.18 , respectively), educational level ≥ 8 years (PR = 1.19 and 1.21, respectively), and current good self-rated health (PR = 1.88 and 1.94, respectively). Negative associations were observed for current age (PR = 0.99 for each increase of one year among men and women), medical diagnosis of depression (PR = 0.70 for men and PR = 0.87 for women), and having one or more at least chronic diseases (PR = 0.88 for men and 0.91 for women). Only for men, positive associations for the age at which they started working (PR = 1.14 and 1.12 for 11-17 and ≥ 18 years, respectively) and living with a spouse (PR = 1.09) were found. CONCLUSIONS: Work ability in older ages is built over the life course, particularly by the health conditions in childhood and adolescence, age at which men begin working, educational level, and health conditions in older ages. Policies aimed at increasing longevity in the labor market must take these factors into account. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article uses a theoretical framework that highlights social factors, specifically the division of labor, which act directly on the effectiveness of organizations through cohesion and solidarity. However, this reading of the economic reality has not been utilized to its fullest for understanding the social embeddedness of interorganizational networks on spacial distribution, i. e., local productive arrangements. It can be noticed that a key competitive feature, referred to as present within the corporate discourse and even economic development policies is the need from companies to act jointly, associated in certain territories, whether industrial districts, regions, counties or cities. Therefore, the crowding is a real possibility for business development from organizational structures based on partnership, complementarity, sharing, exchange and mutual assistance, which have in the networks, which also compose the social structure of markets and reinforce the discussion of sociology that competition also leads to solidarity. The individual economic actions are not free from structural pressures and capable of being interpreted in the purely mechanical and additive aggregation. Structural pressures that weigh on economic action cannot be reduced to the requirements specified at a given moment in time, in cash or in the immediate economic instability of the interactions. The economic interests of the market are for the new economic sociology immersed in personal networks and social groups. The market, therefore, is not composed by isolated organizations, such as models of perfect competition in economics, but organizational clusters, that form a social structure.
