Post-retirement labour supply in England
Publication details
Summary
This paper uses data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing to
investigate the determinants of post retirement labour supply behaviour
amongst retired men in England. I find the hazard of unretirement is
highest when an individual is in their mid-late 60s. Evidence suggests
unretirement is more likely amongst individuals with a higher level of
educational attainment, who have a spouse in the labour market and are
in better health. I investigate the nature of unretirement jobs and find
they tend to be part time and provide a non-trivial source of income.
