Description

Brian Beach and Hugo Westerlund introduce, in twenty twenty-three, a symposium on who works longer in later life, and how working life expectancy varies across countries. As populations age, policy makers push longer working lives for tax and pension reasons. Workers gain income and social benefits too. But many factors drive early exit, and blanket rules ignore real differences. Life expectancy alone misses subgroup gaps and the stop-start paths many take near retirement. Scholars now use working life expectancy, the years a person can expect to spend in work.

The symposium draws on the IDEAR network and longitudinal aging studies in Europe. Results from Sweden and England use multi-state models, which, unlike older methods, allow moves back and forth between work and non-work.
