abstract: 'Background Australians born in 2012 can expect to live about 33 years
longer than those born 100 years earlier. However, only seven of these
additional years are spent in the workforce. Longer life expectancy has
driven policies to extend working life and increase retirement age; the
current Australian policy, which has increased the eligibility for the
pension from 65 to 67 by 2023, assumes that an improvement in longevity
corresponds with an improvement in healthy life expectancy. However,
there is mixed evidence of health trends in Australia over the past two
decades. Although some health outcomes are improving among older age
groups, many are either stable or deteriorating. This raises a question
of how health trends intersect with policy for older Australians aged
from 50 to 70. This paper considers the interplay between older workers''
health and workforce participation rates over the past 15 years when
extended workforce participation has been actively encouraged. Methods
We compared health and economic outcomes of the older people in
following years with the base year (start of the study period),
adjusting for some key socio-economic characteristics such as age, sex,
ethnicity, education and equivalized household income by applying the
Random effects estimator with maximum likelihood estimation technique.
Results We find that regardless of increasing longevity, the health of
older adults aged between 50 and 70 has slightly deteriorated. In
addition, health gaps between those who were working into their older
age and those who were not have widened over the 15-year period.
Finally, we find that widening health gaps linked to workforce
participation are also accompanied by rising economic inequality in
incomes, financial assets and superannuation. With the exception of a
small group of healthy and very wealthy retirees, the majority of the
older Australians who were not working had low incomes, assets,
superannuation, and poor health. Conclusions The widening economic and
health gap within older population over time indicates a clear and
urgent need to add policy actions on income and health, to those that
seek to increase workforce participation among older adults.'
