Background. In Sweden, the proportion of people aged 65 and older has doubled since 1950, and is projected to continue to increase. The increased longevity and proportion of older people in the population pose a challenge for financing and maintaining of the welfare, social security and pension systems. One way to address this challenge is through policy reforms aimed at raising the retirement age, increasing financial incentives for working beyond the official retirement age, abandoning or restricting early retirement routes, and prolonging the total employment period over the life span in order to receive full pension. The success of such reforms will partly depend on the health and working capacity of people in the upper end of their labour market career. In general, women have poorer health than men at all ages, and people with more socioeconomic resources have better health than those with fewer resources. Thus, women and men, as well as different socioeconomic groups, have varying prospects for extending working life. Moreover, an extended working life might have different health effects across gender and socioeconomic position.Aim. The overarching aim of this dissertation is to empirically study how retirement is influenced by health status, socioeconomic position, and gender in Sweden; and in turn how the timing of exit from the labour market is associated with health and functioning in late life.Data. The four studies in this thesis were based on nationally representative longitudinal data from the Swedish Level-of-Living Survey (LNU), the Swedish Panel Study of Living Conditions of the Oldest Old (SWEOLD), the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH), Swedish Cause of Death Register, and income register data from Statistics Sweden: the Income and Taxation Register (IoT) and the Longitudinal Integration Database for Health Insurance and Labour Market Studies (LISA).Study I. There is no consensus on how retirement age is defined and operationalized, neither in research nor in the social policy debate. By comparing a series of four commonly used measures of retirement age assessed on the basis of the LNU survey and LISA register data (n=540), the findings show that different operationalisations give different retirement ages and different empirical results e.g. the size and even direction of the association between self-rated health and retirement age varies depending on the operationalisation. This highlights the importance that readers are aware of the definition of retirement age used when evaluating results from studies on retirement, and that researchers clearly state the definition of retirement age in their studies.Study II. The period from 1980 to 2010 was characterised by technological advancements and reconstruction of the labour market, financial crisis, and several policy reforms with implications for retirement and labour market exit. This study includes four population-based cohorts aged 50-70 at inclusion year (LNU 1981, 1991, 2000 and 2010) that were followed prospectively for two years each, using waves of LNU survey data together with IoT and LISA income register data (n=3690). The aim was to study the predictive value of physical functioning for retirement over a three-decade period.
