abstract: 'Governments are encouraging workers to remain in employment beyond
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
traditional retirement age. A tangible expression of this in Australia
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is the move to raise the Aged Pension access age from 65 to 67 by 2023.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This policy assumes that the majority of workers will be able to extend
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their working lives. However, even at the age of 65, one-third of older
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers have left their jobs involuntarily, with poor health an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important reason for exit. Yet the significance of worker health for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maintaining or limiting employment is not reflected in current policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
architecture. This article draws on the Household Income and Labour

|
|
|
|
Dynamics in Australia Survey and uses a prospective, longitudinal study

|

|
|
design. Our analysis estimates the extent poor health limits working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
past 50 and the ways in which health-related risk are compounded by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other forms of labour market disadvantage. We find that having a chronic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health condition is associated with a five-fold increase in the risk of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
involuntary retirement from work. Moreover the overwhelming majority of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
those with a health condition will leave the labour market because of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it. We also find evidence that labour market disadvantage linked to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
caregiving, occupation and job quality compounds health-related
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
involuntary retirement.'
