Attitudes About Working Beyond Normal Retirement Age: The Role of Mandatory Retirement
1a Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI-KNAW), University of Groningen , The Hague , The Netherlands.
Abstract:
The Dutch government abolished mandatory retirement for national-level civil servants in 2008, but not for employees in other sectors. This study analyzes whether national-level civil servants have different attitudes and plans about working beyond normal retirement age than employees in other sectors. Results show no clear differences between the groups. A national ban on mandatory retirement would presumably not lead to many more older workers continuing to work beyond normal retirement, but would need to be integrated in a much broader policy reform that also addresses employment protection legislation and seniority-based wages.
