Hypothesis
There may be a need to reconsider the mandatory retirement age in Chile due to accelerated population ageing.
Conclusion
The study suggests that the mandatory retirement age significantly influences working life expectancy in Chile.
Supporting Evidence
- Men working at age 65 can expect to live 21.6 years with 2.7 years of working life expectancy.
- Men not working at age 65 can expect to live 21.2 years with only 0.2 years of working life expectancy.
- Women working at age 60 can expect to live 25.9 years with 3.0 years of working life expectancy.
- Women not working at age 60 can expect to live 25.8 years with only 0.5 years of working life expectancy.
Takeaway
This study looks at how long older people in Chile can expect to work before they retire, showing that those who work longer live longer.
Methodology
The study used status-based multistate life table methods on longitudinal data from the Social Protection Survey.
