Barriers to Later Retirement: Increases in the Full Retirement Age, Age Discrimination, and the Physical Challenges of Work
by David Neumark and Joanne Song
WP 2012-265
|
- For older workers caught by increases in the Full Retirement Age, stronger state age discrimination protections increase employment and increase the likelihood of new employment.
- Physical challenges faced by older workers are a barrier to extending work lives, although some workers are able to reduce physical demands of jobs by moving to new jobs, or through changes at the current employer.
- Stronger age discrimination protections do not appear to make it easier for workers with physical challenges at work to move to new jobs, or -- in particular -- to jobs that are less physically demanding.
