Timing and duration of work-family experiences and mental health in young adulthood: Applying feature selection
Work-family trajectories in young adulthood are associated with mental health problems at age 29, even when controlling for early-life mental health problems. In particular, the timing and duration of inactivity and education were found to be associated with subsequent mental health problems. Combining sequence analysis and feature selection provides a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics between work-family experiences and mental health.
