abstract: 'We examine the role of health as a determinant of labour force

  participation, paying particular attention to the link between the two

  provided by disability insurance schemes. We first review the evidence

  on associations between health and labour force participation. Enrolment

  in disability insurance is not determined by health alone, and we

  highlight the main other causes that the literature has identified. In

  an application to The Netherlands, we follow the structure of the

  literature review and show that the trends in health and disability

  insurance enrolment look rather positive. In particular, the 1990

  reforms of disability insurance might have been more effective than

  previously realised because part of their success was hidden by

  demographic change: The large number of baby boomers kept the absolute

  inflow high as they aged, despite large reductions in relative rates.'
