Abstract

Ways of leaving the labor force have been an understudied aspect of labor market outcomes. Labor market institutions such as occupational licensing may influence how individuals transition to retirement. When and how workers transition from career jobs to full retirement may contribute to pre- and post-retirement well-being. Previous investigations of retirement pathways focused on the patterns and outcomes of retirement transitions, yet the influence of occupational licensing on retirement transition has not been analyzed. In this study, we use the Current Population Survey to investigate how occupational licensing influences American later-career workers' choice of retirement pathways. Our results show that older licensed workers are less likely to choose to make career transitions but more likely to reduce work hours in transitioning out of the labor force. These results are consistent with the findings that licensed workers receive more benefits in the form of preferable retirement options, suggesting that these workers tend to have higher wages, benefits, and flexibility even toward the end of their careers.

职业许可对劳动力向退休过渡的影响
离开劳动力大军的方式一直是劳动力市场结果的一个未被充分研究的方面。职业许可等劳动力市场制度可能会影响个人如何过渡到退休。工人何时以及如何从职业工作过渡到完全退休可能有助于退休前和退休后的福祉。以往对退休路径的研究主要集中在退休过渡的模式和结果上,而职业许可对退休过渡的影响尚未得到分析。在这项研究中,我们使用当前人口调查来调查职业许可如何影响美国职业后期工人对退休途径的选择。我们的研究结果表明,年龄较大的持证工人不太可能选择进行职业过渡,但更有可能减少从劳动力过渡的工作时间。这些结果与之前的研究结果一致,即持证工人在退休选择方面获得更多的福利,这表明这些工人往往拥有更高的工资、福利和灵活性,甚至在职业生涯结束时也是如此。
