Abstract

The regional labor market integration of the elderly is examined against the background of employment and pension law regulations, individual factors and regional economic conditions. Particular attention is paid to the regional cohort-related average age at which older men and women leave the labor market. This is calculated for the 400 German districts on the basis of the Integrated Employment Biographies of the IAB. In addition to the spatial differentiation, further differentiations are made, especially in terms of qualification, occupation and sector.
