Creating a Public Resource: O*NET Job Characteristics Dataset for Use with the Health and Retirement Study and Other Surveys
Register HereÌýÌý
The O*NET Program is the United States' primary source of occupational information and this dataset is essential to understanding the rapidly changing nature of work and how it impacts the workforce and economy. In this Lunch&Learn session, Dr. Dawn C. Carr and Rebekah Carpenter will present on how the O*NET job characteristics dataset can be applied to health and retirement studies. More research connecting health and retirement are warranted to understand retirement timing and its impacts on system finances, well-being, cognitive functioning, and aging.
This event is hosted in collaboration with the Centre on Population Dynamics.Ìý

Dawn C. Carr is the Director of the Claude Pepper Center and an associate professor at Florida State University in the Department of Sociology. Carr is a thought leader in the field of aging, and regularly presents her research to a range of audiences through keynote speeches, policy-related presentations, and seminars with older adults and practitioners. Carr’s research focuses on understanding the factors that bolster older adults’ ability to remain healthy and active as long as possible. Much of her work is dedicated to exploring the relevance, purpose, and factors related to work engagement after age 50 and volunteer engagement. Her recent work focuses on understanding the complex pathways between health and active engagement during later life, including resilience and the impact of key transitions in health, productivity, and caregiving. Before joining Florida State University in 2016, she was a researcher at the Stanford Center on Longevity, a postdoctoral fellow in the Carolina Program for Health and Aging Research (CPHAR) at the Institute on Aging at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a researcher at Scripps Gerontology Center. Carr received her Ph.D. in Social Gerontology and Master’s in Gerontological Studies at Miami University, and Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance at Arizona State University.Ìý |
