Abstract

We study the role of occupations for individual and aggregate retirement behavior. First, we document large differences in individual retirement ages across occupations in U.S. data. We then show that retirement behavior among European workers is strongly correlated with U.S. occupational retirement ages, indicating an inherent association between occupations and retirement that is present across institutional settings. Finally, we find that occupational composition is an important predictor of aggregate retirement behavior across 45 countries. Our findings suggest that events affecting occupational structure, such as skill-biased technological change or international trade, can have consequences for aggregate retirement behavior and social security systems.

不同国家的职业和退休情况

我们研究了职业对个人和集体退休行为的作用。首先，我们在美国数据中记录了不同职业的个人退休年龄的巨大差异。然后，我们表明欧洲工人的退休行为与美国职业退休年龄密切相关，表明职业与退休之间存在内在联系，这种联系存在于整个制度设置中。最后，我们发现职业构成是45个国家总体退休行为的重要预测因子。我们的研究结果表明，影响职业结构的事件，如技能偏向的技术变革或国际贸易，可能对总体退休行为和社会保障制度产生影响。
