Axel Börsch-Supan All Books sku-601118116 Hardcover

This Edition 1 hardcover, listed under All Books with Axel Börsch-Supan as the brand, examines how public pension reforms affect employment and retirement at older ages. It is the ninth phase of the International Social Security project and studies twelve developed countries. Older men's labor force participation has risen in the past two decades after a long decline, while participation among older women has risen sharply. Better health, more education and changes in married couples' labor-supply behavior may have played a part, but do not fully explain the size of the increase or differences across countries. Using a common template, the studies examine changes in work incentives since 1980. Their findings suggest that reforms increased the financial returns to working longer and contributed to rising late-life employment.
