Using a local randomized experiment that arises from the statutory retirement age in Norway, we study the effect of retirement on health across gender and socioeconomic status. We apply data from administrative registers covering the entire population and from survey data of a random sample to investigate the effects of retirement on acute hospital admissions, mortality, and a composite physical health score. Our results show that retirement has a positive effect on physical health, especially for individuals with low socioeconomic status. We find no effects of retirement on acute hospitalizations or mortality in general. However, our results suggest that retirement leads to reduced likelihood of hospitalizations for individuals with low socioeconomic status. Finally, we show that the positive health effects are driven by reduced pain and reduced health limitations in conducting daily activities. Our findings highlight heterogeneity in the health effects across socioeconomic status and across subjective and objective measures of health.
Denne artikkelen undersøker effekten av et forsøk med bruk av arbeidsavklaringspenger (AAP) som lønnstilskudd på sysselsetting. Forsøket var organisert som en tradisjonell tiltaksmodell i utvalgte NAV-kontorer i fem fylker, og gjennomført fra 2013 og ut 2018. I tillegg til lønnstilskuddet fikk deltakerne utvidet oppfølging. Forsøket gjør det mulig å studere hvilken sysselsettingseffekt tiltaket har blant AAP-mottakere på NAV-kontor som innførte forsøket, relativt til AAP-mottakere på NAV-kontor som ikke innførte forsøket. Resultatene tyder på at tiltaket hadde en liten positiv effekt på sysselsettingen.
