Area of Science:

Demography
Epidemiology
Occupational Health

Background:

Worklife expectancy is a key demographic indicator.
Existing methods for calculating worklife expectancy have limitations.
Occupational health research and pension policy can benefit from improved worklife expectancy metrics.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the demographic concept of worklife expectancy.
To highlight its utility in occupational health and pension policy.
To introduce a multivariate regression method for worklife table analysis.

Main Methods:

Utilized a multivariate large-sample regression method.
Applied a multistate regression model to aggregated population data.
Analyzed Finnish population statistics on employment, disability, retirement, and mortality.

Main Results:

The study demonstrated a method to estimate worklife expectancies using population data.
The methodology allows for consistent estimation of work-health state probabilities and transitions.
Empirical findings provide insights into Finnish pension policy.

Conclusions:

Worklife expectancy is a valuable metric for occupational health and pension policy.
The presented regression method offers a robust approach to quantify workforce status and mobility.
Further research can refine the application of worklife expectancy in policy-making.
