    Abstract

    "This article studies career spillovers across workers, which arise in firms with limited promotion opportunities. We exploit a 2011 Italian pension reform that unexpectedly tightened eligibility criteria for the public pension, leading to sudden, substantial, and heterogeneous retirement delays. Using administrative data on Italian private-sector workers, the analysis leverages cross-firm variation to isolate the effect of retirement delays among soon-to-retire workers on the wage growth and promotions of their colleagues. We find evidence of spillover patterns consistent with older workers blocking the careers of their younger colleagues, but only in firms with limited promotion opportunities."

    The Effects of Reforms on Retirement Behavior: Introduction and Summary (2023)

    Abstract

    "The International Social Security (ISS) project compares the experiences of a dozen developed countries to study Social Security Programs and Retirement Around the World. The project was launched in the mid 1990s and was motivated by decades of decline in the labor force participation rate of older men. The first phases of the project documented that social security program provisions can create powerful incentives for retirement that are strongly correlated with the labor force behavior of older workers. Since then, the dramatic decline in men's labor force participation has been replaced by sharply rising participation rates. Older women's participation has increased dramatically as well. This tenth phase of the International Social Security (ISS) Project is the third step in explaining rising participation at older ages. The first step investigated changes in health and education as potential causes and showed that they could not account for the extent of changes in labor force participation. As a second step, we documented that countries have undertaken numerous reforms of their social security programs, disability programs, and other public benefit programs available to older workers. We found that these reforms substantially reduced the implicit tax on work at older ages and that stronger financial incentives to work were positively correlated with labor force participation at older ages. In this volume, the third step of our analysis, we exploit the time-series and cross-national variation in the timing and extent of reforms of retirement incentives and employ micro-econometric methods in order to study whether the correlation between financial incentives and work at older ages is causal."

    Focacci, Chiara Natalie, Gülin Öylü, Andreas Motel-Klingebiel & Susanne Kelfve (2023): The value of pension reforms for late working life: evidence from Sweden. In: The international journal of sociology and social policy, Jg. 43, H. 13/14, S. 79-89. DOI:10.1108/IJSSP-02-2023-0038

    Abstract

    "Purpose: Driven by the aim to increase the participation of older people in the labor force and to extend people's working lives, the Swedish Parliament passed a bill in 1998 to increase the pension eligibility age from 60 to 61 years and establish a notional defined-contribution (NDC) plan. In this article, the authors investigate the impacts towards the prolongation of working lives expected from such an intervention. Design/methodology/approach The authors apply a multinomial probabilistic model based on Swedish registry data on the birth cohorts 1937–1938 (n  = 102,826) and observe differences in exit behaviour between eligible and non-eligible individuals. Findings: The authors find that the cohorts eligible to the pension reform exit the labor market at a later age compared to non-eligible cohorts at the 61-years cut-off. The authors also find that the effect persists in the long term. Furthermore, the authors find that both men and women are equally struck by the reform. Originality/value While there exist many descriptive reports and theoretical analyses on the costs and benefits of pension reforms, this study is the first one to empirically analyse the effect of the first European NDC pay-as-you go pension plan on the potential exclusion of old-aged workers."

    Abstract

    "Leveraging two cohort-specific pension reforms, this paper estimates the forward-looking effects of an exogenous increase in the working horizon on (un)employment behaviour for individuals with a long remaining statutory working life. Using difference-in-differences and regression discontinuity approaches based on administrative and survey data, I show that a longer legal working horizon increases individuals' subjective expectations about the length of their work life, raises the probability of employment, decreases the probability of unemployment, and increases the intensity of job search among the unemployed. Heterogeneity analyses show that the demonstrated employment effects are strongest for women and in occupations with comparatively low physical intensity, i.e., occupations that can be performed at older ages."

    How Does the Statutory Retirement Age Affect Older workers' Employment in Relation to Individual and Work‐Related Factors? (2023)

    Grzenda, Wioletta (2023): How Does the Statutory Retirement Age Affect Older workers' Employment in Relation to Individual and Work‐Related Factors? In: Journal of Aging & Social Policy online erschienen am 18.11.2023, S. 1-24. DOI:10.1080/08959420.2023.2284570

    Abstract

    "Policies aimed at increasing employment among older people often focus on the statutory retirement age. Taking into account the characteristics of workers and work-related factors, we examine the impact of reaching the statutory retirement age on continuing employment. In addition to the use of survival trees, we propose a novel method to predict the probability of staying in employment based on an ensemble of survival trees. We focus on Poland as an example of a European country with a particularly low share of older workers in the labor force. Moreover, reform was carried out in Poland in 2017, lowering the previously raised pension eligibility age. Like other EU countries, pension eligibility in Poland starts after reaching the statutory retirement age. Our results suggest that the timing of retirement is determined by the statutory retirement age to a limited extent compared to other factors. In the case of women, a match of education and occupation, the employment sector, and holding a managerial position had a greater impact on continuing employment than reaching retirement age. In the case of men, the type of job contract had the greatest impact on continuing employment. Our findings indicate that the policies and initiatives aimed at extending working life should pay more attention to work-related factors and gender differences in employment."

    When Institutions Interact: How the Effects of Unemployment Insurance are Shaped by Retirement Policies (2023)

    Abstract

    "This paper shows empirically that the non-employment effects of unemployment insurance (UI) for older workers depend in a first-order way on the structure of retirement policies. Using German data, we first present reduced-form evidence of these interactions, documenting large bunching in UI inflows at the age that allows workers to claim their pension following UI expiration. We then estimate a dynamic life-cycle model and use it to directly quantify how the effects of UI vary with retirement policies. Accounting for interactions across UI and retirement institutions also helps explain otherwise difficult-to-explain trends in the unemployment rate of older German workers."

    Pension Reforms and Couples' Labour Supply Decisions (2023)

    Moghadam, Hamed Markazi, Patrick A. Puhani & Joanna Tyrowicz (2023): Pension Reforms and Couples' Labour Supply Decisions. (IZA discussion paper / Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit 16039), Bonn, 43 S.

    Abstract

    "To determine how wives' and husbands' retirement options affect their spouses' (and their own) labour supply decisions, we exploit (early) retirement cutoffs by way of a regression discontinuity design. Several German pension reforms since the early 1990s have gradually raised women's retirement age from 60 to 65, but also increased ages for several early retirement pathways affecting both sexes. We use German Socio-Economic Panel data for a sample of couples aged 50 to 69 whose retirement eligibility occurred (i) prior to the reforms, (ii) during the transition years, and (iii) after the major set of reforms. We find that, prior to the reforms, when several retirement options were available to both husbands and wives, both react almost symmetrically to their spouse reaching an early retirement age, that is both husband and wife decrease their labour supply by about 5 percentage points when the spouse reaches age 60). This speaks in favour of leisure complementarities. However, after the set of reforms, when retiring early was much more difficult, we find no more significant labour supply reaction to the spouse reaching a retirement age, whereas reaching one's own retirement age still triggers a significant reaction in labour supply. Our results may explain some of the diverse findings in the literature on asymmetric reactions between husbands and wives to their spouse reaching a retirement age: such reactions may in large parts depend on how flexibly workers are able to retire."

    Abstract

    "We show that a stepwise increase in the normal retirement age (NRA) by up to five years and the introduction of actuarial pension deductions for retirement before NRA was ineffective in prolonging employment of older men after early retirement age. We argue that the ineffectiveness of the German pension reform resulted from a change in employer behavior that was mainly induced by a recession during the implementation period of the pension reform. Employers seem to have nudged their employees to use a bridge option that was introduced with the pension reform (partial retirement) or a traditional bridge option (unemployment). These bridge options allowed an early retirement age (ERA) of 60 instead of the only alternative early retirement option with an ERA of 63. Bridge options therefore offered employers an opportunity to terminate employment considerably earlier and exert more influence over the employment exit age. We argue that without a change in employer behavior, neither using one of the bridge options nor the earlier employment exit would have been utility maximizing for the individuals affected by the reform."

    Abstract

    "- Erwerbsminderungsrenten sollen den Einkommensausfall bei dauerhafter Erkrankung abfangen. Sie sind zu Beginn grundsätzlich zu befristen, um die Rückkehr in Erwerbstätigkeit zu unterstützen. Immerhin etwa die Hälfte der Erwerbsminderungsrenten ist jedoch von Beginn an unbefristet. - Für drei Viertel der Erwerbsminderungsrentner*innen ist nach Beginn der Rente Erwerbstätigkeit nicht von Bedeutung. Innerhalb von sechseinhalb Jahren ist etwa jede*r Siebte verstorben, und etwa jede*r Achte in Altersrente gewechselt. - Unter den Personen mit Erwerbstätigkeit nach der Bewilligung einer Erwerbsminderungsrente ist der Anteil derjenigen mit (versuchter) Rückkehr in Erwerbstätigkeit sowohl bei Personen mit unbefristeter als auch befristeter Rente gleich niedrig (ca. 8 bzw. 9 Prozent) – ein Hinweis darauf, dass Anreiz bzw. Möglichkeit eines Wiedereinstiegs bei Zeitrenten nicht höher als bei unbefristeten Renten ist. - Selbst wenn mit Erteilung einer Zeitrente die Perspektive auf Erwerbstätigkeit ausgerichtet ist, schlägt sich dies kaum bei Rehabilitationen nieder. Nur eine knappe Hälfte derjenigen mit Zeitrente erhielten eine Rehabilitationsmaßnahme der Rentenversicherung, unter denen mit einer unbefristeten Rente waren es etwa ein Drittel."

    Early retirement of employees in demanding jobs: Evidence from a German pension reform (2022)

    Abstract

    "Early retirement options are usually targeted at employees at risk of not reaching their regular retirement age in employment. An important at-risk group comprises older employees who have worked in demanding jobs for many years. This group may be particularly negatively affected by the abolition of early retirement options. To measure differences in labor market reactions of employees in low- and high-demand jobs, we exploit the quasinatural experiment of a cohort-specific pension reform that increased the early retirement age for women from 60 to 63 years. Based on a large administrative dataset, we use a regression-discontinuity approach to estimate the labor market reactions. Surprisingly, we find the same relative employment increase of about 25% for treated women who were exposed to low and to high job demand. For older women in demanding jobs, we also do not find substitution effects into unemployment, partial retirement, disability pension, or inactivity. Eligibility for the abolished early retirement option required high labor market attachment. Thus, we argue that this eligibility rule induced a positive selection of healthy workers into early retirement. We propose alternative policies that protect workers exposed to high job demand better against the negative consequences of being unable to reach their statutory retirement age in employment."

    Abstract

    "In diesem Beitrag konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich die Erwerbsbeteiligung Älterer im Zeitraum von 1995 bis 2018 deutlich erhöht hat. Dies liegt auch an der zunehmenden Erwerbsbeteiligung der Frauen. Ältere Beschäftigte verbleiben immer länger in den Betrieben, in denen sie bereits länger beschäftigt sind. Dagegen tun sich Ältere, die einen neuen Arbeitsplatz suchen, nach wie vor schwer, einen neuen Arbeitsplatz zu finden. Dies gilt vor allem für ältere Arbeitslose. Obwohl die Aufrechterhaltung der Kompetenzen, Gesundheit und Motivation sowie die Reduktion arbeitsplatzbezogener Anforderungen und Belastungen für die Erhaltung der Arbeits- und Beschäftigungsfähigkeit Älterer anerkannt sind, ist die Verbreitung entsprechender betrieblicher Maßnahmen nach wie vor gering. Trotz der zunehmenden Bedeutung der Notwendigkeit der Weiterentwicklung von Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen in der modernen Arbeitswelt für alle Altersgruppen, bestehen Defizite vor allem bei kleineren und mittleren Betrieben. Diese Entwicklungen stehen im Widerspruch zur Notwendigkeit der Integration der Älteren in die Beschäftigung, deren zunehmende Erwerbsbeteiligung den Rückgang des Erwerbspersonenpotenzials bei wieder sinkender Migration, kleineren Geburtskohorten und des Übergangs der „Baby-boomer-Generation“ in den Ruhestand kompensieren müsste."

    Abstract

    "This paper shows that increasing the normal retirement age and introducing pension deductions for retirement before normal retirement age in Germany did not prolong employment of older men. The reason for this surprising result is that employers encouraged their employees to use the bridge options unemployment or partial retirement instead of the early retirement option for the long-term insured. Bridge options allowed employers to terminate employment considerably earlier than the pension for long-term insured. Employers however had to compensate their employees for the substantially higher costs of the bridge options. Therefore mainly employers with high employment adaption costs induced employees to use a bridge option during the implementation phase of the pension reform." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Dolls, Mathias & Carla Krolage (2019): The effects of early retirement incentives on retirement decisions. (Ifo working paper 291), München, 31 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper analyzes behavioral responses to a reform in the German public pension system that allowed individuals with a long contribution history to retire without deductions before reaching the regular retirement age. Following the 2014 reform, individuals with 45 contribution years could retire without deductions as early as age 63 instead of age 65. Using high-quality administrative data from public pension insurance accounts, we first conduct an event study to quantify responses to becoming eligible for the early retirement scheme. Our results indicate that the probability of retiring immediately increases by more than 10 percentage points upon becoming eligible, relative to the counterfactual probability of retiring at the same age with deductions. Second, we employ a coarsened exact matching procedure to compare retirement entry decisions of eligible and non-eligible individuals. Results are in line with the event study and show that individuals who are eligible for the early retirement scheme retire on average 5.4 months earlier than non-eligible individuals with identical characteristics. With additional pension insurance expenditures of 3.4 billion euro and aggregate fiscal costs of 6.5 billion euro in 2016, our subsequent fiscal cost projections are at the upper end of the range of previous back-of-the-envelope estimates."

    Abstract

    "Im Koalitionsvertrag vom 14. März 2018 wird angekündigt, die Leistungen und Beiträge der Gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung durch eine sogenannte 'doppelte Haltelinie' festzuschreiben. Konkret soll das Netto-Standardrentenniveau vor Steuern nicht unter 48% absinken und gleichzeitig der Beitragssatz nicht über 20% ansteigen. Diese Haltelinien sollen zunächst bis 2025 gelten. Da in dieser Zeit die Zahl der Rentenempfänger stark steigen wird, wird eine Finanzierungslücke entstehen. Hierzu sagt der Koalitionsvertrag, dass deren Finanzierung 'bei Bedarf durch Steuermittel sicher[zu]stellen' ist. Axel Börsch-Supan und Johannes Rausch, Max-Planck-Institut für Sozialrecht und Sozialpolitik, München, quantifizieren in ihrem Artikel den entsprechenden Finanzierungsbedarf und rechnen ihn in Mehrwertsteuerpunkte um. Sie kommen zu dem Ergebnis, dass der Finanzierungsbedarf bis 2025 relativ gering ist, sich dann jedoch dramatisch erhöht. Allein in den folgenden fünf Jahren bis 2030 müsste die Mehrwertsteuer über den normalen Bundeszuschuss hinaus um ca. 3 Prozentpunkte angehoben werden, langfristig sogar um zwischen 6 und 7 Prozentpunkte. Auch Alternativen sind teuer. Würde man die Fixierung von Rentenniveau und Beitragssatz durch eine Erhöhung des Regelrenteneintrittsalters kompensieren, müsste dieses bis 2030 auf 69 und bis 2045 auf 71 Jahre angehoben werden. Verzichtet man auf die Haltelinie beim Beitragssatz, bedeutet die Einhaltung der anderen Haltelinie einen Beitragssatzanstieg um das Doppelte der jetzt avisierten Erhöhung. Deshalb kann nur ein intelligenter Mix der in der umlagefinanzierten Rentenversicherung zur Verfügung stehenden Stellschrauben den dramatischen Anstieg einzelner Parameter der Gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung verhindern."

    "Die deutsche lebensstandardsichernde Rente, finanziert aus Sozialabgaben der Versicherten und ihrer Arbeitgeber, galt jahrzehntelang als Blaupause des Bismarck'schen Modells. Seit 20 Jahren, unter dem demografischen Druck und den fiskalischen Restriktionen, wurde der umfassende Umbau in ein Mehrsäulensystem betrieben. Die kapitalgedeckte Riester-Rente hatte einen schwierigen Start, und die Erfahrung der jüngsten Finanzmarktkrisen verdeutlicht grundsätzliche Probleme der kapitalgedeckten Altersvorsorge. Auch die betriebliche Altersvorsorge benötigt tarifpolitische Weiterentwicklung. Die derzeitigen Formen der Alterssicherung können die Risiken steigender Altersarmut in einer flexibleren Arbeitsgesellschaft nur ungenügend auffangen, und es bedarf allemal einer besseren Mindestsicherung für alle Mitbürger."

    Abstract

    "In this article, we discuss the role of trade unions in the evolution of occupational pensions in four countries: Austria, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. In all four cases, important reforms have been made to the pension systems, including the consolidation of exten- sive occupational pensions in the Netherlands, substantial expan- sion of occupational pensions in Germany, and a continued marginal position of occupational pensions in Austria and Belgium. We show that the distinct developments in occupational pensions in the four cases since the 1990s can, to an important extent, be understood by the differences in the power resources and prefer- ences of trade unions. The influence of unions on the development of occupational pension systems depends, on the one hand, on the extent to which they see them as an opportunity or a threat, and, on the other hand, on the extent to which they have the power resources to consolidate, oppose or shape these systems."

    Abstract

    "This study assesses whether pension vesting and lock-in regulations affect participation in employer-sponsored pension plans. Specifically, the effects of Canadian reforms enacted during the 1980s and 1990s are investigated, which reduced vesting and lock-in requirements from employees being at least 45 years old and having ten years of continuous plan membership to two years of membership irrespective of age. To credibly identify these effects, the analysis exploits inter-provincial variation in the timing of the pension reforms using a difference-in-differences approach. The results show that employees aged 25 - 54 responded positively to the added protection of their pension wealth by increasing plan participation, despite the general trend of declining occupational pension coverage during this time. However, these changes also crowded out contributions to other retirement savings accounts. The implications of these findings for the optimal design of private pension systems are discussed."

    Abstract

    "In this paper we exploit a cohort-specific pension reform to estimate the labour market effects of changes in the financial incentives to retire. In particular, we analyse the effects of the introduction of cohort-specific deductions for early retirement on female retirement, employment and unemployment. For the empirical analysis we use high-quality administrative data from the German pension insurance. We present evidence for sizeable labour market effects. In addition to direct effects on women older than 60 we find important anticipation effects before reaching the pension eligibility age. Overall we document that the pension reform leads to a postponement of retirement, an increase in employment and a shifting in unemployment over age rather than a substitution into unemployment."

    "Obwohl sich im letzten Jahrzehnt die Arbeitsmarktsituation älterer Arbeitnehmer in allen EU-Ländern verbessert hat, gibt es erhebliche Länderunterschiede im Hinblick auf die Erwerbsbeteiligung Älterer. Um unterschiedliche Entwicklungen zu dokumentieren und zu beurteilen, was am besten im Hinblick auf die Verlängerung des Erwerbslebens und bei der Wiedereingliederung älterer Arbeitsloser funktioniert, wird die Situation in fünf Ländern analysiert: Deutschland, Frankreich, Niederlande, Norwegen und Österreich. Zahlreiche empirische Befunde zeigen, dass finanzielle Anreize bzw. 'finanzielle Sanktionen' durch Rentenreformen und die Abschaffung länderspezifischer Wege in den vorzeitigen Ruhestand mehr Einfluss auf die Verlängerung des Arbeitslebens haben, als alle anderen Maßnahmen. Die Wiedereingliederung nach einem Verlust des Arbeitsplatzes und das Risiko der Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit bleibt über Ländergrenzen hinweg jedoch ein spezifisches Problem älterer Arbeitnehmer. Staatlich geförderte Programme zur Unterstützung der Wiedereingliederung von älteren Arbeitslosen zeigen eher gemischte Ergebnisse." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)
