Description
Qize Chen and co-authors present a 2024 study on job complexity over a working life and later thinking skills. Complex jobs demand problem solving, choice making, and guiding others. Past work lacked records that span a full career. The team used recall data on job histories from early adult life, plus later tests of thinking in a large survey.
The study held 6,744 adults. Exposure to complex work rose fast in the twenties, then grew slowly to the fifties, and fell after sixty. Men started lower than women but passed them by the early thirties. White adults had higher exposure than Black and Hispanic peers. The patterns shed light on how work shapes later-life gaps.
