Studies the nexus between employment of older and younger workers in more depth, if only to put any concerns for adverse effects of later retirement to rest.

Examines differences in self-reported work disability and labor force status in the U.S. and Europe and finds that increased employment protection reduces reentry into the labor force.

Investigates whether adjusting using weights or matching on a small set of variables makes the distributions of target variables representative of the population when a web-based survey is used.

In contrast to the believed similarity in their health outcomes, workers in different Western countries report very different rates of work disability. Using new data from the United States and the Netherlands, we offer a partial resolution to this paradox. We find that observed differences in reported work disability largely stem from the fact that Dutch respondents have a lower threshold in reporting whether they have a work disability than American respondents. For those who do not suffer from pain, work disability is similar in both countries once thresholds are the same. For respondents with pain, however, a significant difference remains.

This paper reviews the most pertinent theoretical and recent empirical contributions to the literature on worksharing. The results show a positive direct effect on employment of a reduction in working hours. However, taking into account indirect effects, in particular the upward effects on wages, the authors find that the long-run effect becomes small and insignificant.

Investigates the role of pain dynamics in dynamics of self-reported work disability and of employment patterns of older workers in the United States. In addition to high pain prevalence, there are many transitions in and out of pain at these ages.
