abstract: 'In response to the rising financial pressure on old-age pension systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in industrialised economies, many European countries plan to increase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the eligibility age for retirement pensions. We used data from Sweden to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examine whether (and if so, how) retirement after age 65 - the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eligibility age for basic pension - compared to retiring earlier affects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
older adults'' (between ages 70 and 85) cognitive functioning. Using a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
propensity score matching (PSM) approach, we addressed the selection
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
bias potentially introduced by non-random selection into either early or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
late retirement. We also examined average and heterogeneous treatment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects (HTEs). HTEs were evaluated for different levels of cognitive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stimulation from occupational activities before retirement and from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
leisure activities after retirement. We drew from a rich longitudinal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data-set linking two nationally representative Swedish surveys with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
register data-set and found that, on average, individuals who retire
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
after age 65 do not have a higher level of cognitive functioning than
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
those who retire earlier. Similarly, we did not observe HTEs from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupational activities. With respect to leisure activities, we found no
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systematic effects on cognitive functioning among those working beyond
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
age 65. We conclude that, in general, retirement age does not seem to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affect cognitive functioning in old age. Yet, the rising retirement age
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
may put substantial pressure on individuals who suffer from poor health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at the end of their occupational career, potentially exacerbating
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social- and health-related inequalities among older people.'
