Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Michigan, 1995.

My dissertation consists of three thematically related essays centering around the relationship between the health status and labor force behavior of older adults. In the first, I use the Survey of Health and Living Status of the Elderly in Taiwan to examine the labor force behavior of older Taiwanese (age 60+). The findings indicate that, despite the general lack of pension and disability insurance programs, the retirement patterns of older Taiwanese are broadly similar to those observed in the United States; furthermore, poor health is a very important predictor of labor force withdrawal. In the second, I use the US Health and Retirement Survey (HRS) to examine the hypothesis that individuals with different longevity expectations have systematically different retirement plans, specifically that individuals who expect to live a long time expect to retire later than those who expect to live less long. The findings indicate that, even after controlling for current health status and other important covariates, greater expected longevity increases the expected duration of work-life for both men and women. However, although the effects are strongly significant, they are fairly small. In the third, two co-authors and I use the HRS to examine the extent to which differences in labor force participation between older black and white men (age 50-61), and between men of different educational attainment, can be attributed to differences in health status across these respective groups. The findings suggest that race and education differences in health status of middle-aged men can explain a substantial fraction of black/white differences in labor force attachment and essentially all of the gap between men with different levels of education. The findings also suggest that the manner in which individuals adapt to the onset of health limitations is affected by the characteristics of the jobs they hold.Subjects--Topical Terms:
