摘要

利用 CPS 和 HRS 的微观数据，我们记录了自 20 世纪 90 年代中期以来美国老年劳动力参与率的变化。我们的主要发现是，二十多年来劳动力参与率的增长完全是由健康状况良好的个人推动的，在教育或职业群体之间并无差异。这一现象可能会对旨在提高强制退休年龄的社会保障改革的结果产生重要影响，并可能会加剧终身收入中的健康差距。(JEL 代码：J22 和 I14）

Widening Health Gap in the US Labor Force Participation at Older Ages

Using microdata from the CPS and the HRS, we document changes in labor force participation at older ages in the USA since the mid-1990s. Our main finding is that the over two-decade increase in participation is solely driven by individuals in good health, and does not differ across either educational or occupational groups. This phenomenon may importantly affect the results of social security reforms aiming at raising the mandatory retirement age and may exacerbate the health gap in lifetime earnings.
