Abstract

Understanding the long-term health effects of employment – a major social determinant – on population health is best understood via longitudinal cohort studies, yet missing data (attrition, item non-response) remain a ubiquitous challenge. Additionally, and unique to the work-family context, is the intermittent participation of parents, particularly mothers, in employment, yielding ‘incomplete’ data. Missing data are patterned by gender and social circumstances, and the extent and nature of resulting biases are unknown.
