abstract: 'Extending working life beyond the state pension age is a key European
Union policy. In the UK, women are more likely to extend paid work than
men, indicating that factors other than the state pension age play a
role in working longer. Women are less able to build pension income due
to their role as carer within the family. It, therefore, follows that
gender inequalities over the life course continue into older age to
influence need, capacity and desire to undertake paid work after state
pension age. This paper explores how work, marital and fertility history
impact upon the likelihood of extending employment. It uses the British
Household Panel Survey''s retrospective data from the first 14 waves to
summarise work-family histories, and logistic regression to understand
the impact of work and family histories on extending paid work. Findings
show that, on the one hand, women are extending paid work for financial
reasons to make up for `opportunity costs'' as a result of their caring
role within the family, with short breaks due to caring, lengthy
marriages, divorcing and remaining single with children all being
important. Yet, there is also evidence of `status maintenance'' from
working life, with the women most likely to extend paid work, also those
with the highest work orientation, prior to state pension age. But
lengthy dis-attachment (due to caring) from the labour market makes
extending working life more difficult. This has implications for policy
strategies to entice women into paid work to make up for low independent
financial resources.'
