R(a)ising employment of older individuals

The Journal of the Economics of Ageing, 2022, vol. 23, issue C

Abstract: The employment rates of older men have risen dramatically since the mid-1990s in a number of developed economies. Nevertheless, the employment rates of men aged 55–64 in many OECD countries remain at or below the levels observed in the mid-1970s, despite substantial improvements in health and longevity. In this review I summarize some of the driving forces behind the dramatic changes in older men’s employment over the last several decades and discuss the role for retirement reform to further boost employment in the future.
