Late-career workforce participation in times of rising state pension age: the role of health and motivation

In a period of rising SPA, an increasing share of workers aged 61-SPA continued work participation. Health played a minor role, whereas motivation to work became more important. Our findings suggest that the feasibility of maintaining late-career workers in the workforce requires attention to both health maintenance and enhancement of motivational factors at work.

Abstract

In a period of rising SPA, an increasing share of workers aged 61-SPA continued work participation. Health played a minor role, whereas motivation to work became more important. Our findings suggest that the feasibility of maintaining late-career workers in the workforce requires attention to both health maintenance and enhancement of motivational factors at work.
