| Annotation | Within the political and academic debate on working longer, post-retirement employment is discussed as an alternative to maintain older workers in the labour market. The authors examine the determinants of transitions into post-retirement jobs within differing work environments of birth cohorts 1940-1942 in Germany. They use unique German social security data linked to pension accounts to estimate proportional subhazard models to account for competing risks. Their findings suggest that individuals' preferences for taking up post-retirement jobs are not mutually exclusive. Their study provides evidence that taking up post-retirement jobs is related to seeking financial security, continuity and work ability. This suggests that public policy has to develop target-oriented support through a public policy mix of different measures aligned to the different peer groups in the labour market. (RH). |
