The impact of pension reform on employment, retirement, and disability insurance claims (2024)
Zitatform
Hernaes, Erik, Simen Markussen, John Piggott & Knut Røed (2024): The impact of pension reform on employment, retirement, and disability insurance claims. In: Journal of Population Economics, Jg. 37, H. 4. DOI:10.1007/s00148-024-01052-5
Abstract
"We evaluate the 2011 comprehensive reform of Norwegian early retirement institutions using a parsimonious random utility choice model. Conditional on employment at age 60, we estimate a three-state conditional logit model to explain the realized labor market state at age 63 among the alternatives of employment, retirement, and disability program participation. The reform radically changed work incentives and/or pension access age for some (but not all) workers, such that the influence of economic incentives can be identified based on reform-generated variation only. We find that improved work incentives caused employment rates to rise considerably at the expense of early retirement and exit through disability insurance. Improved liquidity through a lower age to access own pension funds on actuarially neutral terms caused a small increase in employment and a large drop in disability program participation. Properly designed pension reforms thus need to take the interplay between old-age pension and disability insurance programs into account." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Rapidly Increasing Retirement Ages: Changing Employment Practices for Older Workers (2024)
Zitatform
Jensen, Per H. (2024): Rapidly Increasing Retirement Ages. Changing Employment Practices for Older Workers. (Ageing, Work and Welfare series), Cheltenham: Elgar, 198 S. DOI:10.4337/9781789907797
Abstract
"This prescient book provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of retirement practices in Denmark, Germany and the UK. Per H. Jensen interrogates the factors behind rapidly increasing retirement ages in these countries between 2000 and 2018. Drawing on the age arrangement approach, Rapidly Increasing Retirement Ages considers the position of older workers in the context of changing norms and ideals, discourses, welfare states, labour markets, and families as well as the changing characteristics of older workers themselves. Jensen uses statistical data to highlight how the developing practices of older workers are prompted by societal transitions from an early to late exit age arrangement. This includes transitions from early to late exit discourses, from welfare states to enabling states, from closed to open labour markets, from male breadwinner to dual breadwinner family models, and from low to high levels of work ability among older workers. In addition Jensen shows how the different dimensions of change are connected and interrelated. Intersectional in its scope, this book posits an illuminating, comprehensive and much-needed response to this growing societal issue." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © Elgar) ((en))

Abstract
"Das mittlere Austrittsalter aus versicherungspflichtiger Beschäftigung älterer Erwerbstätiger hat sich von 60,1 Jahren (Jahrgang 1940) auf 63,1 Jahre (Jahrgang 1953) deutlich erhöht. Das Altersspektrum, innerhalb dessen die meisten Erwerbsaustritte erfolgen, hat sich leicht reduziert. Wesentlich dazu beigetragen hat die Schließung der Altersrente für Frauen, aufgrund derer Frauen ab Jahrgang 1952 nicht mehr ab 60 Jahren in Altersrente gehen können. Unterschiede im mittleren Austrittsalter aus versicherungspflichtiger Beschäftigung zwischen Männern und Frauen sowie zwischen Beschäftigten, die auf unterschiedlichen Anforderungsniveaus tätig sind, haben sich nivelliert. Nach wie vor liegt das mittlere Erwerbsaustrittsalter aus versicherungspflichtiger Beschäftigung deutlich unterhalb der Regelaltersgrenze. Die Mehrheit erreicht nicht die Regelaltersrente aus einer Beschäftigung heraus." (Textauszug, IAB-Doku)

The Influence of Occupational Licensing on Workforce Transitions to Retirement (2024)

Oh, Yun taek & Morris M. Kleiner (2024): The Influence of Occupational Licensing on Workforce Transitions to Retirement. (NBER working paper / National Bureau of Economic Research 32292), Cambridge, Mass, 53 S.
Abstract
"Ways of leaving the labor force has been an understudied aspect of labor market outcomes. Labor market institutions such as occupational licensing may influence how individuals transition to retirement. When and how workers transition from career jobs to full retirement may contribute to pre- and post-retirement well-being. Previous investigations of retirement pathways focused on the patterns and outcomes of retirement transitions, yet the influence of occupational licensing on retirement transition has not been analyzed. In this study, we use the Current Population Survey and Survey of Income and Program Participation to investigate how occupational licensing influences American later-career workers' choice of retirement pathways. Our results show that licensed workers are less likely to choose to change careers but more likely to reduce work hours in transitioning out of the workforce. These results are consistent with the findings that licensed workers receive more benefits in the form of preferable retirement options, suggesting that these workers tend to have higher wages, benefits, and flexibility even toward the end of their careers."

Pathways to retirement in West Germany: Does divorce matter? (2024)

Schmauk, Sarah (2024): Pathways to retirement in West Germany: Does divorce matter? In: Advances in life course research, Jg. 60. DOI:10.1016/j.alcr.2024.100595
Abstract
"The aim of this paper is to explore how divorce is linked to pathways to retirement in West Germany and to understand whether and how patterns are gendered. Using German pension insurance data, I employ sequence and cluster analysis to map and group pathways to retirement of women and men who retired in 2018. Pathways to retirement are defined based on monthly pension insurance histories from age 50 to 65. I find nine distinct pathways to retirement, ranging from unemployment to stable low to high income pathways and to an early retirement pathway through the reduced-earnings-capacity pension, the latter representing 9.3% of the sample. Based on multinomial logistic regression models, I analyse how marital status, distinguishing between divorced and (re)married, was related to different pathways to retirement. The results show that divorced people were more likely than married people to retire through indirect and unstable pathways to retirement characterized by early exit from the labor market and receipt of reduced-earnings-capacity pensions and/or unemployment benefits. Whereas the relationship between divorce and pathways to retirement seemed to be overall unfavorable for men, the results for women are more ambiguous. Divorced women were also more likely to retire through a stable high-income pathway than married women. Nevertheless, the results suggest that divorce is associated with an early retirement pathway through the reduced-earnings-capacity pension for both women and men."

Are Trajectories of Preferred Retirement Ages Associated with Health, Work Ability and Effort–Reward Imbalance at Work? Findings from a 6-Year Swedish Longitudinal Study (2024)
Zitatform
Sousa-Ribeiro, Marta, Johanna Stengård, Constanze Leineweber & Claudia Bernhard-Oettel (2024): Are Trajectories of Preferred Retirement Ages Associated with Health, Work Ability and Effort–Reward Imbalance at Work? Findings from a 6-Year Swedish Longitudinal Study. In: Work, Aging and Retirement, Jg. 10, H. 3, S. 225-240. DOI:10.1093/workar/waad006
Abstract
"Preferred retirement age (PRA) is one key dimension when studying retirement decision-making. However, little is known concerning how PRA develops over the late career years. This study used a person-centered approach to longitudinally investigate trajectories of PRA and how they differ in self-rated health, perceived work ability, and effort–reward imbalance (ERI) at baseline levels and over 6 years. The study used data from four waves (2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016) of the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health. The sample consisted of 1,510 individuals aged 50–55 in 2010, who answered to the questionnaire for those in paid work (including self-employment) at the baseline and at least one of the following waves. Results from the latent class growth curve modeling show both within- and between-person variability in PRA over the 6-year span. We found four distinct trajectories, which differed both at the baseline levels and in the patterns of change in PRA: “C1: normative, relatively stable PRA” (42% of all participants); “C2: considerably early, increasing PRA” (6% of the participants); “C3: late, relatively stable PRA” (4% of the participants); and “C4: early, increasing PRA” (49% of the participants). Participants revealed a clear preference for retirement before the age of 65. Trajectories comprising earlier PRA showed poorer self-rated health, poorer work ability, and higher levels of ERI at the baseline and over time. The findings reinforce the importance of healthy work environments that promote work ability and facilitate a balance between efforts and rewards for encouraging longer working lives."

Situation Älterer am Arbeitsmarkt (2024)

(2024): Situation Älterer am Arbeitsmarkt. (Berichte: Blickpunkt Arbeitsmarkt / Bundesagentur für Arbeit), Nürnberg, 29 S.
Abstract
"Die Bevölkerung der 55- bis unter 65-Jährigen hat in den vergangenen Jahren stark zugenommen. Die geburtenstarken Jahrgänge haben dazu beigetragen, dass diese Altersgruppe in der Bevölkerung im Jahr 2023 ihren Höchststand erreicht hat. Die schrittweise Anhebung des Renteneintrittsalters auf 67 Jahre erhöht seit 2012 die Zahl der über 65-Jährigen am Arbeitsmarkt. Aber auch die „Rente mit 63“ wirkt sich am Arbeitsmarkt aus. Die Erwerbsquote der 55- bis unter 65-Jährigen ist in den letzten 10 Jahren stärker gestiegen als die der 15- bis unter 65-Jährigen. Ältere nehmen dabei öfter und – bezogen auf ihr Alter – länger am Erwerbsleben teil. Im europäischen Vergleich ist sowohl die Erwerbs- als auch die Erwerbstätigenquote Älterer in Deutschland überdurchschnittlich hoch. Die sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigung von 55- bis unter 65-Jährigen ist in den letzten Jahren deutlich gestiegen, insbesondere bei den 60- bis 64-Jährigen. Zuletzt verlor das Wachstum, bei dennoch überdurchschnittlich hohen Zuwächsen, etwas an Schwung und wurde auch bei den Älteren vorrangig von Ausländern getragen. Die Beschäftigungsquote der jüngeren Älteren im Alter von 55 bis unter 60 Jahren ist etwas höher als die der 15- bis unter 65-Jährigen. Die Quote der 60- bis unter 65-Jährigen ist – insbesondere wegen der Übergänge in den Ruhestand – niedriger, aber in der Tendenz steigend. Die Verteilung der älteren Beschäftigten auf Wirtschaftszweige entspricht überwiegend der Verteilung über alle Altersklassen. Der Anteil der Älteren an den sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigten im erwerbsfähigen Alter ist in den Bereich Information und Kommunikation sowie dem Gastgewerbe unterdurchschnittlich. Relativ häufig sind sie dagegen beispielsweise in der Öffentlichen Verwaltung beschäftigt. Ältere arbeiten – auch wegen der Nutzung von Altersteilzeitmodellen – häufiger weniger als die tariflich vereinbarte Wochenarbeitszeit. Zudem trägt gerade der grundsätzlich hohe und tendenziell steigende Teilzeitanteil beschäftigter Frauen zu einem wachsenden Anteil von teilzeitbeschäftigten Älteren bei. Personen, die nach Erreichen der Regelaltersgrenze beschäftigt sind, sind überwiegend männlich und ausschließlich geringfügig beschäftigt. Ältere haben im Durchschnitt ein geringeres Risiko arbeitslos zu werden. Wenn sie aber einmal arbeitslos werden, gestaltet sich der (Wieder-) Einstieg ins Arbeitsleben entsprechend der niedrigeren Abgangschancen schwieriger als über alle Altersgruppen hinweg. Ältere Arbeitslose sind vergleichsweise häufig langzeitarbeitslos und schwerbehindert. Sie weisen jedoch seltener als Jüngere eine fehlende formale Qualifikation auf. Unter anderem wegen des demografischen Wandels und des Wegfalls von Sonderregelungen für Ältere war ihre registrierte Arbeitslosigkeit bis 2015 gestiegen; danach ging sie vor dem Hintergrund der guten Arbeitsmarktlage bis zum Ausbruch der Corona-Krise zurück. Seitdem steigt die Arbeitslosigkeit Älterer weiter an. Gründe hierfür dürften unter anderem die Anhebung des Renteneintrittsalters sowie die zuletzt einsetzende konjunkturelle Schwäche und der Wegfall der Sonderregelung nach § 53a Absatz 2 SGB II sein. Die Unterbeschäftigung Älterer verzeichnete im Zuge der eintretenden konjunkturellen Eintrübung einen Anstieg, der auf den Anstieg der Arbeitslosigkeit zurückgeführt werden kann. Der Anteil Älterer an den Eintritten in arbeitsmarktpolitische Maßnahmen hat sich in den letzten Jahren auf einem Niveau eingependelt, das deutlich unter ihrem Anteil an allen Arbeitslosen liegt."

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."

Abstract
"In öffentlichen Debatten wird gefordert, das Renteneintrittsalter zu erhöhen. Diese Forderung geht jedoch an der Realität der Beschäftigten vorbei. Viele schaffen es aus gesundheitlichen und sonstigen Gründen nicht, bis zum Rentenalter zu arbeiten. Dieser WSI-Report geht der Frage nach, ob und welche Beschäftigte sich in der Lage sehen, ihre aktuelle berufliche Tätigkeit bis zum Rentenalter durchhalten zu können. Ergänzt wird diese Selbsteinschätzung durch Angaben von Betriebs- und Personalräten, nicht nur zur Beschäftigungsfähigkeit, sondern auch zu Handlungsspielräumen der Betriebe zur Unterstützung der Beschäftigten. Datengrundlage sind die HBS-Erwerbspersonenbefragung und die WSI-Betriebs- und Personalrätebefragung 2021. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass die Mehrheit der Beschäftigten eher optimistisch ist, ihre aktuelle Tätigkeit bis zur Rente ausüben zu können. Allerdings zeigen sich erhebliche Unterschiede zwischen Beschäftigtengruppen, etwa zwischen Arbeiter*innen, Angestellten und Beamt*innen. Betriebs- und Personalräte äußern sich skeptischer zur Fähigkeit der Beschäftigten, bis zur Rente durchzuhalten. Gleichzeitig sehen sie aber Möglichkeiten der Unterstützung – Betriebe könnten mehr tun, um lange Erwerbskarrieren zu ermöglichen. Die aktuelle Situation wird aber als unzureichend eingeschätzt."

The Role of Disability Insurance on the Labour Market Trajectories of Europeans (2023)

Brugiavini, Agar & Petru Crudu (2023): The Role of Disability Insurance on the Labour Market Trajectories of Europeans. (Working papers / Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, Dipartimento di Economia 2023,20), Venezia, 81 S.
Abstract
"This work documents the role played by disability insurance, typically part of a wider public pension provision package, on the labour market trajectories and retirement decisions. We will first employ a machine learning approach to estimate a Transition Probability Model able to uncover the most likely labour market histories and then evaluate the effects of policy reforms, including reforms to the eligibility for disability insurance benefits. The main contribution is the introduction of disability insurance programs within a framework, which models the entire life course of older Europeans. This requires the detailed administrative eligibility criteria prevailing in each of the 11 countries from 1970 to 2017. Results show that the disability route and early retirement are substitutes. In addition, tightening eligibility rules of disability programs crowd out disabled workers, whose reductions in working capacities are correctly assessed, towards other compensatory schemes (e.g., unemployment benefits or early pension) in which working is not expected. On the contrary, individuals with over-assessed reductions in working capacities are the most reactive to disability policy restrictions. In conclusion, efficient disability assessment procedures are crucial for incentivising labour market participation without hurting individuals most in need." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

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."

Abstract
"Viele Menschen würden gern weniger arbeiten und früher in Rente gehen. Allerdings passt dieser persönliche Wunsch nicht zur alternden Gesellschaft in Deutschland. Um den Mangel an Fach- und Arbeitskräften abzuschwächen und die Finanzierung der gesetzlichen Altersvorsorge zu stabilisieren, müsste die Lebensarbeitszeit vielmehr steigen. Wie dies gehen kann, welche Potenziale in den sogenannten Silver Workern – den 65- bis 69-Jährigen – liegen und wie Deutschland im internationalen Vergleich dasteht, damit beschäftigen sich Dominik H. Enste, Martin Werding und Julia Hensen in dieser RHI-Studie. Als empirische Basis dazu vergleichen die Autor*innen die Lebensarbeitszeit in Deutschland mit der in anderen OECD-Staaten. Sie zeigen – auch anhand von Best-Practice-Beispielen aus anderen Ländern –, wie sich Potenziale heben und das Arbeitsvolumen steigern ließen. Zudem plädieren sie dafür, die Erwerbsphase zu verlängern, indem das gesetzliche Renteneintrittsalter automatisch an die höhere Lebenserwartung wird." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

The value of pension reforms for late working life: evidence from Sweden (2023)

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."

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."

The Effects of Social Insurance Benefits on Leaving Employment at Older Ages in the Netherlands (2023)

Kalwij, Adriaan & Arie Kapteyn (2023): The Effects of Social Insurance Benefits on Leaving Employment at Older Ages in the Netherlands. (NBER working paper / National Bureau of Economic Research 31546), Cambridge, Mass, 48 S.
Abstract
"In the Netherlands, from 1989 to 2013, in the age group 55-63 the annual exit rate from employment to receiving social insurance benefits in the following year decreased from around 17 percent to 7 percent for men, and from 14 percent to 5 percent for women. We found that less generous social insurance benefits have had small but significant negative effects on these exit rates: The annual exit rate to social insurance benefit receipt next year (at ages 56-64) would have been about 14 percent higher for both men and women in 2013 should social insurance benefits schemes of 1989 still have been in place. This increase amounts to staying, on average, three months longer in employment from age 55 onwards in 2013 than in 1989. These findings are driven to some extent by the reduction in the maximum duration of unemployment insurance benefits in 2007, but predominantly by making (early) retirement schemes actuarially fair from 2006 onwards. The increase in disability insurance's income replacement rate in 2006 has led to a slight increase in the exit rate from employment, conditional on eligibility. As the estimated effects of changes in the social insurance benefits from 1989 to 2013 on working beyond age 55 are relatively small, they suggest the importance of other factors such as changes in workers' skills, improved health (on which we provide some evidence), and social insurance's tighter eligibility criteria."

Effects of digital skills and other individual factors on retirement decision-making and their gender differences (2023)

Abstract
"Increasing the pension age as a dominant solution to population ageing does not bring desirable outcomes, if not accompanied by other essential measures in lifelong learning and fighting age discrimination. Moreover, rapid digitalization and automation in the labor market bring additional uncertainties for the growing group of older workers. The analysis is based on the SHARE data from Waves 5, 6, and 7 and examines predictors of retirement intentions by two different estimation methods. While digital skills are positively associated with a willingness to stay in the labor market in the random-effect modelling, fixed-effects regression shows no correlation between digital skills and retirement intentions. This difference means that digital skills do not correlate with retirement intentions once we control for time-invariant individual characteristics. Thus, increasing ICT literacy among older workers can have a very limited potential for extending working lives. In contrast to this result, starting to be self-employed, health improvement, having an additional grandchild, and losing a partner increase the willingness to work longer. The study identifies the factors shaping retirement intentions, which should be reflected in any effective social policy." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"In order to capture the rapidly changing reality of older workers, it is important to study retirement not as a one-off transition, but rather as a series of diverse pathways that unfold during the period before and after reaching the full retirement age. The retirement transitions of men and women have been shown to vary widely according to individual characteristics such as health, education and marital status, but also according to macro-institutional factors, such as welfare regimes and gender norms. While there is a consensus about the combined influence of institutional and individual factors in shaping retirement transitions, previous research has rarely included both levels of analysis. This study aims to close this research gap. Using a pooled-country dataset from three panel surveys, covering 11 nations, we examine the retirement pathways of 1,594 women and 1,105 men during a 12-year period (2004–2016) around the country- and gender-specific full pension age. Results show that retirement pathways diverge considerably across countries and lifecourse regimes. The distribution of men and women between the different pathways is also variable, both within and across societal contexts. More importantly, the influence of individual-level characteristics, such as education, on the gendering of retirement pathways is not identical across societal contexts. These findings provide useful insights into the gender-differentiated implications of policies aimed at extending working lives." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

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
"Mit dem zunehmenden Fachkräftemangel wird gefordert, die Anreize für ein verlängertes Arbeitsleben zu stärken. Für Arbeitnehmer lohnt sich ein späterer Renteneintritt aber schon heute – sowohl mit Blick auf die monatliche Bruttorente als auch auf den Barwert der lebenslang zu erwartenden Rentenzahlungen."
