Giesecke, Matthias & Sarah Okoampah (2014): Inequality of opportunity in retirement age. The role of physical job demands. (Ruhr economic papers 492), Essen, 25 S. DOI:10.4419/86788561
Abstract
"Wir quantifizieren die Differenz im Renteneintrittsalter zwischen Individuen, die sich hinsichtlich des Grades der physischen Arbeitsbelastung in ihrem Beruf unterscheiden. Diskrete Verweildauermodelle deuten auf substantielle Unterschiede im Renteneintrittsalter zwischen diesen Gruppen hin. Wir evaluieren die Differenz hinsichtlich der Frage, inwiefern prädeterminierte Umstände in der Kindheit über den Kanal der Selektion in physisch anspruchsvolle Berufe auf das Renteneintrittsalter wirken. Um Unterschiede zu separieren, die durch prädeterminierte Umstände auf der einen Seite und durch individuelle Entscheidungen oder Zufall auf der anderen Seite hervorgerufen wurden, testen wir auf stochastische Dominanz für ausgewählte prädeterminierte Kriterien und führen eine Blinder-Oaxaca-Zerlegung durch. Die Ergebnisse implizieren, dass prädeterminierte individuelle Charakteristika etwa ein Drittel der Differenz im Renteneintrittsalter erklären, welche über den Kanal des physischen Anspruchs der Beschäftigung transportiert wird."

Why is old workers' labor market more volatile?: unemployment fluctuations over the life-cycle (2014)
Zitatform
Hairault, Jean-Olivier, François Langot & Thepthida Sopraseuth (2014): Why is old workers' labor market more volatile? Unemployment fluctuations over the life-cycle. (IZA discussion paper 8076), Bonn, 59 S.
Abstract
"Since the last recession, it is usually argued that older workers are less affected by the economic downturn because their unemployment rate rose less than the one of prime-age workers. This view is a myth: older workers are more sensitive to the business cycle. We document volatilities of worker flows and hourly wage across age groups on CPS data. We find that old worker's job flows are characterized by a higher responsiveness to business cycles than their younger counterparts. In contrast, their wage cyclicality is lower than prime age workers'. Beyond this empirical contribution, we show that a life-cycle Mortensen & Pissarides (1994) model is well suited to explain these facts: older workers' shorter work-life expectancy endogenously reduces their outside options and leads their wages to be less sensitive to the business cycle. Thus, in a market where wage adjustments are small, quantities vary a lot: this is the case for older workers, whereas the youngest behave like infinitively-lived agents. Our theoretical results point out that Shimer (2005)'s view on the MP model is consistent with prime-age workers' labor market while aging endogenously introduces real wage rigidities, allowing to match what we observe for old workers, without specific assumptions as in Hagendorn & Manovskii (2008)."

Instead of bowling alone?: unretirement of pensioners in Sweden (2014)
Pettersen, Jan;Zitatform
Pettersen, Jan (2014): Instead of bowling alone? Unretirement of pensioners in Sweden. In: International Journal of Manpower, Jg. 35, H. 7, S. 1016-1037. DOI:10.1108/IJM-09-2012-0136
Abstract
"Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to study the re-entry to the workforce of fully retired persons (unretirement) and whether the decision to resume work depends primarily on social or economic reasons.
Design/methodology/approach - Using Swedish register data for already retired individuals older than 55, the incidence of unretirement is studied. Determinant factors behind the decision to re-enter the labor force is analyzed in a binary response logit model.
Findings - Unretirement varies between 6 and 14 percent under two different definitions. We find support for higher pension income to decrease the probability to unretire. Other determinants, such as marital status, largely support an interpretation that unretirement is a life-style decision rather than a response to an experienced negative economic situation post retirement.
Research limitations/implications - Due to data limitations, the focus in this study is on the extensive margin (the event of returning to the labor force) and not on hours of work post re-entry.
Social implications - If older persons that are physically able to work also want to work and succeed in finding work when they demand so, unretirement is welfare enhancing. However, if unretirement is an effect of unexpected realizations post retirement, any increase in the number of persons facing such unexpected shocks implies an increase in the uncertainty of life as retired.
Originality/value - Research on unretirement is scarce and has previously been performed exclusively on US survey data. Knowing the determinants of unretirement is important to know if and how incentives to unretire should be designed." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en)) -

Abstract
"Seit Ende 2011 erlaubt die Beschäftigtenstatistik eine Gegenüberstellung von formaler Qualifikation der Beschäftigten und Anforderungsniveau der ausgeübten Tätigkeit. Demnach waren im Jahr 2012 rund 63 Prozent aller Arbeitnehmer in Deutschland ausbildungsadäquat beschäftigt. Dagegen waren 22 Prozent formal unterqualifiziert und 15 Prozent überqualifiziert. Bei Letzteren ist der Berufsabschluss höher als es ihre Tätigkeit erfordert - sie stehen im Fokus dieses Berichts. Zu formaler Überqualifizierung kann es kommen, wenn bestimmte Qualifikationen zu wenig nachgefragt werden, aber auch infolge besserer Bezahlung oder Arbeitsbedingungen. Deshalb, und weil Arbeitsuchende nicht unbegrenzt mobil sind, spielen regionale Beschäftigungs- und Verdienstmöglichkeiten eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entstehung dieser Form von ausbildungsinadäquater Beschäftigung."

Work-related factors as predictors in the retirement decision-making process of older workers in the Netherlands (2014)

Abstract
"This article examines work-related factors and their impact on the retirement decision-making process. We particularly focus on organisational human resources policies and normative climate regarding retirement. Organisations create opportunities and conditions for career extension via their personnel instruments. The normative climate may encourage or discourage retirement. We use a ten-year follow-up study among 1,458 older employees in the Netherlands aged 50 - 59 at baseline. Results reveal that older workers are sensitive to social approval earned from their co-workers and supervisor. A social climate that supports working up to higher ages is an important requisite for reducing the attractiveness of the early retirement option. Retirement intentions, formed in the years prior to retirement, are shaped by workplace norms and supervisors' attitudes. Results indicate that in order to delay retirement, policy initiatives cannot be reduced to altering financial restrictions surrounding retirement but need to address the forces at the organisational level that channel workers out of employment."

Does Elderly Employment have an Impact on Youth Employment? A General Equilibrium Approach (2014)
Stiassny, Alfred; Uhl, Christina;Zitatform
Stiassny, Alfred & Christina Uhl (2014): Does Elderly Employment have an Impact on Youth Employment? A General Equilibrium Approach. (Department of Economics working paper / Vienna University of Economics and Business 178), 49 S.
Abstract
"Does an increase of elderly employment cause a decline in youth employment? A simplified view of a demand driven economy would give a positive answer to this question. Econometric studies based on a single equation approach deliver little support for this belief. However, these studies typically suffer from identification problems to which no attention is paid in most cases. We therefore use a general equilibrium framework when trying to quantify these effects. Using yearly and quarterly Austrian labor and gdp data, we estimate two model variants by Bayesian methods: a) a standard equilibrium model where the degree of complementarity between old, young and primary labor is crucial for the sign and strength of the relevant effects and b) a simple, solely demand driven model which always leads to a crowding out of young through an increase in employment of the old. It turned out that the demand driven model is inferior in fitting the data compared to the standard model. Further, the degree of complementarity is estimated to be strong enough to lead to a small positive effect of elderly employment on youth employment." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Renteneintritt und Hausarbeit (2014)

Stich, David & Moritz Hess (2014): Renteneintritt und Hausarbeit. (SOEPpapers on multidisciplinary panel data research at DIW Berlin 683), Berlin, 22 S.
Abstract
"Dieses Papier untersucht wie sich der Renteneintritt eines Partners auf die Verteilung der Hausarbeit in Paaren auswirkt. Zur Erklärung wie Hausarbeit zwischen den Partner verteilt wird, gibt es zwei Theoriestränge. Die ökonomischen Theorien gehen davon aus, dass der- oder diejenige der Partner, welcher am Arbeitsmarkt weniger Geld verdient, mehr Hausarbeit übernehmen wird unabhängig von seinem oder ihrem Geschlecht. Die normbasierten Theorien hingegen basieren auf Werten und Vorstellungen. In konservativen Paaren übernehmen Frauen den Haushalt, während Paare mit modernen Vorstellungen die Hausarbeit egalitärere verteilen. Aufbauend auf den ökonomischen und normbasierten Theorien lassen sich in Bezug auf den Renteneintritt dazu zwei gegensätzliche Hypothesen aufstellen. 1) Mit dem Renteneintritt verändert sich die Verteilung der Hausarbeit nicht. 2) Diejenige Person, welche in Rente geht, übernimmt einen größeren Anteil der Hausarbeit. Diese Hypothesen werden mit Fixed-Effects Modellen und Daten des SOEP getestet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sowohl Männer wie auch Frauen nach der Verrentung mehr Zeit für Hausarbeit aufwenden, als dies in der Erwerbsphase der Fall ist." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"Das Handlungsmodell der Selektion, Optimierung und Kompensation (SOK) hat sich als ein wichtiger Ansatz zum Verständnis der Bewältigung von alters- und alternsbedingten Veränderungen bei Beschäftigten an ihrem Arbeitsplatz herausgestellt. Bislang konnte die Forschung zeigen, dass Beschäftigte mit häufigen SOK-Strategien in der Arbeit erfolgreiches Altern am Arbeitsplatz berichten. Gleichwohl sind die verantwortlichen Arbeitsbedingungen für eine erfolgreiche SOK-Anwendung unzureichend beleuchtet. Unsere Studie untersuchte die direkten und indirekten Effekte für das Engagement in der Arbeit durch die Anwendung von SOK-Handlungsweisen am Arbeitsplatz sowie durch zwei zentrale Ressourcen der Arbeit: Lern- und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten sowie Autonomie im Job. Diese Informationen wurden mittels eines Fragebogen erfasst, anhand standardisierter Skalen. Die Untersuchungsgruppe waren N = 118 Flugbegleiter verschiedener deutscher und österreichischer Airlines. Die vermehrte Anwendung von SOK Strategien ging mit höherem Arbeitsengagement einher (r = 0.28, p < 0.05). Lern- und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten in der Arbeit (r = 0.35, p < 0.01) und Autonomie (r = 0.31, p < 0.01) waren gleichfalls mit mehr Arbeitsengagement assoziiert. Anhand von Mediationsanalysen fanden wir, dass der positive Effekt der Arbeitsressourcen für das Engagement in der Arbeit durch die Anwendung von SOK Strategien teilweise vermittelt wurde. Unsere Ergebnisse demonstrieren, dass sowohl die Anwendung von alternsgünstigen Handlungsstrategien als auch die erweiterte Ressourcen der Arbeit positiv für das Engagement in der Arbeit sind. Der Beitrag schließt mit Empfehlungen für eine weitere theoretische Erforschung des Themas wie auch potentielle praktische Konsequenzen aus den Ergebnissen für eine alternsgünstige Arbeitsgestaltung."

Abstract
"In times of rising longevity and shortage of skilled workers, post-retirement work has become increasingly prevalent in many countries. However, not much is known about the expectations and facilitating factors associated with work-related activities after retirement. In two studies we draw on the social cognitive career theory and investigated the role of outcome expectations and facilitating factors in post-retirement career planning. First, we interviewed 22 older employees and subject matter experts in a German aerospace company to learn more about expectations of post-retirement work and its facilitating factors to build a theoretical model. Second, to test our theoretical model, 212 employees of the same company aged 50 to 65 completed a web-based survey. Results showed that outcome expectations and the facilitating factors identified in the interview study were significantly related to post-retirement career intention. Further, the facilitating factor social approval moderated the relationship between outcome expectations and post-retirement career intention. We discuss implications of our findings in terms of how they inform retirement counselors, organizations, and society to help increase engagement in work-related activities after retirement."

Aranki, Ted & Corrado Macchiarelli (2013): Employment duration and shifts into retirement in the EU. (European Central Bank. Working paper series 1517), Frankfurt, M., 34 S.
Abstract
"The decision to cease working is traditionally influenced by a wide set of socio-economic and environmental variables. In this paper, we study transitions out of work for 26 EU countries over the period 2004-2009 in order to investigate the determinants of retirement based on the Eurostat Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC). Applying standard survivor analysis tools to describe exits into retirement, we do not find any significant differences in the patterns into retirement between the average euro area and EU non-euro area countries. Moreover, we find that shifts into retirement have increased during the onset of the 2009 economic and financial crisis. Income, together with flexible working arrangements, is found to be important as regards early retirement decisions, compared to retiring beyond the legal retirement age. Finally, we show that institutional measures (such as, state/health benefits, minimum retirement age) could not be sufficient alone if individuals withdraw earlier from the labour market due to a weakening of their health. Especially, these latter results are of importance for structural and macroeconomic policy, for instance, in increasing the employment of both people and hours worked against the background of population ageing."

Becoming a grandparent and early retirement in Europe (2013)

Abstract
"Given that the funding of pensions is at issue, governments across Europe now try to discourage early retirement. Yet, international research about the determinants of early retirement based on appropriate micro-data is scarce. In addition, studies have tended to look at the retiring generation in an isolated way, ignoring the intergenerational ties that may play a role in their retirement decision. This article uses the European Social Survey, covering 22 countries from all regions of Europe, to investigate to what extent becoming a grandparent affects early retirement in European countries. We apply multilevel event history modelling to data from the third round of the European Social Survey and from the MULTILINKS database on intergenerational policy indicators. We find that becoming a grandparent speeds up retirement, especially at the round ages of 55 and 60 years. However, the effect is statistically significant only for women, not for men. We discuss differences between countries, including the role played by differences in formal childcare provisions." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Population ageing will be the dominant feature of the world's demographic landscape in the coming decades, raising concerns about labor productivity and about economic outcomes at both the individual, enterprise, and macro levels. The articles in this special issue of Labour Economics define and address key issues with respect to the interplay of ageing, workforce productivity, and economic performance. Taken as a whole, the articles dispel some of the concerns, sharpen our understanding of others, and highlight behavioural changes, business practice adaptations, and public policy reforms that can offset the economic effects of population ageing."

Labour-market outcomes of older workers in the Netherlands: measuring job prospects using the occupational age structure (2013)
Zitatform
Bosch, Nicole & Bas ter Weel (2013): Labour-market outcomes of older workers in the Netherlands. Measuring job prospects using the occupational age structure. (IZA discussion paper 7252), Bonn, 27 S.
Abstract
"This paper analyses changes in job opportunities of older workers in the Netherlands in the period 1996-2010. The standard human capital model predicts that, as a result of human capital obsolescence, mobility becomes more costly when workers become older. We measure and interpret how changing job opportunities across 96 occupations affect different age and skill groups. Older workers end up in shrinking occupations, in occupations with a lower share of high-skilled workers, in occupations facing a higher threat of offshoring tasks abroad, more focus on routine-intensive tasks and less rewarding job content. This process is not only observed for the oldest group of workers, but for workers aged 40 and above. Observing older workers in declining occupations is to a large extent a market outcome, but declining job opportunities in terms of less satisfying working conditions and job tasks and content could potentially raise incentives to retire early."

Abstract
"This paper analyses the age structure of employment rates across OECD countries with a focus on France. The statistical contribution of each age group to total unemployment-rate differentials is also computed. An estimate of the sensitivity of age-specific unemployment rates to the economic cycle is provided for OECD countries. France is one of the OECD countries having the highest dispersion of employment rates across age groups. The 'within' component of the 15-29 age group accounts for over half of France's total unemployment rate differential with best-performing countries. Youth unemployment rate is especially sensitive to cyclical fluctuations in Spain, Belgium and France." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Diese Arbeit analysiert die Auswirkungen des demografischen Wandels auf das Arbeitsangebot und leitet auf Basis verschiedener Szenarien Politikempfehlungen ab, um dem demografisch bedingten Arbeitskräfterückgang zu begegnen. In einem ersten Schritt werden hierbei Erwerbspersonenprojektionen anhand eines Kohorten-Komponenten-Modells vorgenommen und durch verschiedene Modellrechnungen ergänzt. Neben einer Abschätzung der Erwerbspersonenzahl bei einer Erhöhung des effektiven Renteneintrittsalters werden die Konsequenzen eines früheren Erwerbseintritts, einer steigenden Erwerbsbeteiligung der über 60-Jährigen, einer verstärkten Erwerbsbeteiligung von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund sowie einer erhöhten Erwerbsbeteiligung der Frauen untersucht. In einem zweiten Schritt werden die Effekte einer sinkenden Erwerbslosenquote sowie einer steigenden Arbeitszeit je Erwerbstätigen betrachtet, um so Rückschlüsse über das zukünftige Arbeitsvolumen zu ziehen. Unsere Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass eine hinreichende Stabilisierung des jährlich geleisteten Arbeitsvolumens möglich ist, so dass bereits geringe Produktivitätssteigerungen dafür ausreichen werden, das Bruttoinlandsprodukt je Einwohner auf dem heutigen Niveau zu stabilisieren."

Abstract
"This paper provides an overview of the employment situation of young and old workers in the EU Member States, setting out the most recent development during the crisis and dealing with policies implemented to promote the employment of both groups. The evidence collected shows that there is no competition between young and older workers on the labour market. Structural or general policies to enhance the functioning of EU labour markets are crucial to improving the situation of both groups. However, the responsibility for employment policies still predominantly lies within Member States of the European Union, although initiatives taken at the EU level can provide added value, particularly through stimulating the exchange of experiences and facilitating regional and cross-border mobility throughout the EU."

Abstract
"This article analyses women's retirement income in the context of two distinct welfare states. In addition to women's employment history, we consider their marital history over the life course as an important determinant of retirement income. We use longitudinal data for women born between 1930 and 1940 from the German Socio-Economic Panel and the British Household Panel Study. The results shed light on the mechanisms through which welfare states transmit gender inequality over the life course into retirement. In both countries, single women have higher retirement income than continuously married women. But there are also significant cross-country differences. In the corporatist-conservative German welfare state, marriage over the life course leads to greater dependence on a male breadwinner in retirement than in the liberal British welfare state."

Abstract
"In this paper, we analyze the sensitivity of the labor market decisions of workers close to retirement with respect to the incentives created by public regulations. We improve upon the extensive prior literature on the effect of pension incentives on retirement by jointly modeling the transitions between employment, unemployment and retirement, paying special attention to the transition from unemployment to retirement (which is particularly important in Spain and other European countries, and whose relevance is increasing as a result of the recent economic crisis). Using administrative data, we find that, when properly defined, economic incentives have a strong impact on labor market decisions. Unemployment regulations are shown to be particularly influential for retirement behavior, along with the more traditional determinants linked to the pension system. Pension variables also have a major bearing on workers' reemployment decisions. The quantitative impact of the incentives, however, is greatly affected by the existence of unobserved heterogeneity among workers. Its omission leads to sizeable biases in the assessment of the sensitivity to economic incentives. We confirm the importance of this potential problem in the case of the change in early retirement provisions legislated in Spain in 2002 (which we analyze with a difference-in-difference approach)."

Abstract
"We analyze lifetime earnings histories of white males during 1960-2010 and categorize the labor force status of every worker as either working full-time, partially retired or fully retired. We find that the fraction of partially retired workers has risen dramatically (from virtually 0 to 15 percent for 60-62 year olds), and that the duration of partial retirement spells has been steadily increasing. We estimate the response of retirement timing to variations in unemployment rate, inflation and housing prices. Flows into both full and partial retirement increase significantly when the unemployment rate rises. Workers around normal retirement age are especially sensitive to variations in the unemployment rate. Workers who are partially retired show a differential response to a high unemployment rate: younger workers increase their partial retirement spell, while older workers accelerate their transition to full retirement. We also find that high inflation discourages full-time work and encourages partial and full retirement. Housing prices do not have a significant impact on retirement timing."
