In nearly every industrialized country, large aging populations
and increased life expectancy have placed enormous pressure on
social security programs--and, until recently, the pressure has
been compounded by a trend toward retirement at an earlier age.
With a larger fraction of the population receiving benefits, in
coming decades social security in many countries may have to be
reformed in order to remain financially viable.
This volume offers a cross-country analysis of the effects of
disability insurance programs on labor force participation by older
workers. Drawing on measures of health that are comparable across
countries, the authors explore the extent to which differences in
the labor force are determined by disability insurance programs and
to what extent disability insurance reforms are prompted by the
circumstances of a country's elderly population.
