| Annotation | The impact of working conditions on individual retirement for 270 occupations is investigated. This article combines survey data for estimates of job strain, census data for occupations, and income, social insurance and social security data for the transition from work to retirement for 19,114 Norwegian employees aged 60-67. Retirement was identified by a drop in work-related income and studied both jointly and separately for disability and non-disability retirement, including four types of disability. Data were analysed using logistic regression (competing risk) "duration" models. Findings indicate that disability retirement is related to physical job strains. Among men, both pathways of early retirement are related to low autonomy in job tasks. Furthermore, psychological job stress may reduce non-disability retirement. The findings are discussed in relation to: the prospect of reducing early retirement by changing working conditions; and who will gain from certain changes in pension systems. (RH). |
