abstract: 'The success of policies aimed at keeping older workers in employment

  until the statutory retirement age in part depends on the health of

  these workers. For this reason we examine to what extent pathways to

  statutory retirement other than employment are associated with adverse

  health conditions as measured by increased mortality risk during

  retirement. To do so, we estimate a mortality risk model using Dutch

  administrative data. We find, conditional on labor market status at the

  age of 58 and compared to individuals who are employed until the

  statutory retirement age of 65, no increased mortality risk among

  individuals who, between the ages of 58 and 65, have been in early

  retirement or unemployment and an increased mortality risk among

  individuals who have drawn disability insurance benefits. Our results

  suggest that older workers other than those who qualify for disability

  insurance benefits, may, on average, have no significant health

  conditions that could adversely impact the effectiveness of reforms that

  create stronger financial incentives for continued employment until age

  65.'
