“…For example, Leinonen et al. (2018) used the Sullivan method to compare RE across occupational classes in Finland, and Ghilarducci and Webb (2018) used the nonparametric approach of hot-deck imputation with HRS data to study RE across gender, education, race, etc. They both find that longer RE is associated with higher SES, consistent with our findings.…”

Objectives The length of retirement life may be highly unequal due to persistent and significant discrepancies in old-age mortality. This study assesses gender and educational differences in the average retirement lifespan and the variation in retirement lifespan, taking into account individual labor force exit and re-entry dynamics. Methods We used longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study from 1996–2016, focusing on respondents aged 50 and above (N = 32,228). Multistate life tables were estimated using discrete-time event history models. The average retirement lifespan, as well as absolute and relative variation in retirement lifespan, were calculated analytically. Results Among women, we found a persistent educational gradient in average retirement lifespan over the whole period studied; among men, the relationship between education and retirement expectancy differed across periods. Women and the lower-educated had higher absolute variation in retirement lifespan than men and the higher-educated—yet these relationships were reversed when examined by relative variation. Discussion Our multistate approach provides an accurate and comprehensive picture of the retirement lifespan of older Americans over the past two decades. Such findings should be considered in high-level discussions on Social Security. Potential reforms such as raising the eligibility age or cutting benefits may have unexpected implications for different social groups due to their differential impacts on retirement initiation and re-entry dynamics.

“…It is observed that most of the people especially women participation in rural employment gives them too much low reward in the form of pay (Jan et al, 2012). Full-time and part-time agricultural employment changes when wages changes (Ghilarducci, 2018). Lack of infrastructure, modern technology, and low level of education are the main factors for the low productivity and employment diversification (Batool & Jamil, 2019).…”

“…The first lag wages have a positive and significant impact on full-time employment in the construction sector. The construction sector and construction activities are considered as one of the major sources of income (Qureshi & Ghani, 1989 ;Ghilarducci, 2018 ;Philips, 1958). Part-time one and two time-lagged wages have a significant impact on construction employment because people prefer part-time jobs due to the high wage rate per hour which results in decline in parttime labor demand (Houseman & Osawa, 1995).…”

Employment diversification depicts a dynamic socio-economic process where domestic workers widen the range of employment sources. Whereas, the prospect is usually based on a mix of Part-time and Full-time employment. Employment decisions significantly derive from the economic incentives such as wage differentials and the growth rates in different sub-sectors of economic activity. Research at hand summarizes and analyses Employment Diversification Patterns in Pakistan and the motives behind the labor shift. Time series data has been collected from various sources for 1990-2018. The Seemingly unrelated regression model has been applied for empirical estimations. The current analysis of employment pattern diversification concluded that part-time and full-time wages rates have a significant impact on the part and full-time employment in different sub-sectors of economic growth. Variation in wage rates in one sub-sector varies the employment level in different sectors. The estimates elaborated the significant rise in part-time employment these sub-sectors. Moreover, the dynamic interrelation between part-time and full-time employment is examined in the Agriculture, Construction, Electricity, Manufacturing, Wholesale and Retail Trade, Transport, Storage and Communication. These estimates show the quick adjustment of part-time employment within and across the sectors. Policies are needed to enhance labor mobility as one wants to diversify the employment one can do it to enhance the economic productivity.

“…However, retirement can improve health and well-being (e.g., Gorry, Gorry, and Slavov 2018), and differences across demographic groups in time spent in retirement can have important distributional implications (Ghilarducci and Webb 2018). The timing of Social Security claiming can also have important implications for retirement well-being.…”
