We examine the labour market, welfare receipt and health effects of a reform to the Irish State Pension system which increased the age at which some workers could claim a State Pension. We use longitudinal data on ageing in Ireland and a causal identification strategy based on the random date of...

I study how delayed retirements reshape firms internal labor markets, leveraging a German reform that raised womens early retirement age by at least three years. The reform increased retention of older women and reduced both internal promotions and external hiring of younger coworkers, with the...

Using a standard macro model with overlapping generations in the manner of Blanchard–Yaari, we show that by broadening the labour supply on the extensive margin through longevity adjustment of the statutory retirement age, labour supply is likely to decrease on the intensive margin. However,...

This paper studies how labor demand factors - specifically worker substitutability and job‑specific skills - shape employment responses to a rise in the early retirement age. Using a regression discontinuity design, I exploit a 1999 German reform that eliminated the option for women to retire...

Population ageing is an irreversible global trend (United Nations, 2023). The global population of people aged 65 years and older is forecast to rise from 10% in 2022 to 16% by 2050. As a result, many older tourists who have large amounts of discretionary time and money at their disposal want to...

I quantify the implications of projected natural population ageing for the value of the New Zealand aggregate human capital stock, using the Jorgenson/Fraumeni framework and Mincer equations. Using the framework, I compare quantitatively the impact of natural population ageing with that of other...

This study focused on integrating digital methodologies in personnel selection processes and explored the psychometric properties of virtual assessment centers as alternatives to traditional ones. We evaluated the validity of a virtual application of an assessment center and its fairness in...

Objectives: This study explores how academic literature addresses the professional inclusion of older adults in the workforce. It investigates emerging patterns and proposed solutions to support later‑life employment in the context of demographic ageing and the active ageing policy paradigm....

We use partial life expectancy to show the existence in the UK of an asymmetric relationship between life span and health span in five-year age brackets over the life course. Using comparable data from other advanced economies, we investigate why years of improvement in life expectancy after...

Financial inclusion refers to expanding access to and use of financial services among traditionally excluded groups including low-income households, microenterprises, the elderly, and women. Digital financial inclusion helps advance financial inclusion by deploying digital financial services...

This study presents a comprehensive methodological approach to construct a composite index of demographic ageing, with a particular focus on Romania in comparison to the other 26 Member States of the European Union (EU). Drawing on data from 2000 to 2022, the research integrates multiple...

The European Union population is ageing increasingly rapidly, with dependency ratios and shares of the elderly in the total population rising across the continent. While aggregate projected increases in age-related public spending in the EU are manageable, there are substantial differences...

We examine the role of baseline health in predicting future employment exits, alongside established socioeconomic, job-related and demographic predictors. Using UKHLS, we track employed respondents over 10 years to assess subsequent employment exits. Baseline health is captured using an...

The modern macroeconomic literature has documented the importance of taking into account heterogene- ity across different groups in society when studying the impact of monetary policy on the economy. This is important because monetary policy affects different people differently and because the...

We examine the impact of migrant-provided home-based care on elderly health in Italy, focusing on hospitalisation frequency, length of stay, and mortality. To address potential endogeneity between local health conditions and immigrant settlement , we use an instrumental variable approach. Our...
