| Annotation | European countries, including the UK, have been focusing on attention on retirement age. This article contributes to the debate on retirement age and the extent to which occupational pensions influence the decision to retire. It uses data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) from 1984 to 1991 and the Quarterly Labour Force Survey from 1992 to 2003 to review changes in actual average retirement age in the UK during the period 1983 to 2003 by gender and ethnicity. The article investigates the link between occupational pension schemes and men's and women's actual retirement ages. It uses the English Longitudinal Survey of Ageing (ELSA, 2002-2003) to explore the impact of pension type on employees' expected retirement age and the decision to take early retirement. (RH). |
