Samenvatting
One of the solutions that could be used to resource the needs of ageing
populations is the encouragement of individuals to extend working lives
beyond retirement, often referred to as ‘bridge employment’. Although
previous studies provide important insights into individual determinants
of bridge employment, there is scant research on the extent to which
differences across countries and between genders exist and how these
might be explained by economic and societal differences in the pension
context. The determinants of participation in bridge employment are
investigated among male and female retirees in 16 European countries.
Multilevel models are estimated based on data from the Survey of Health,
Ageing and Retirement in Europe project. It was found that where there
is high expenditure on pensions there is a lower likelihood of retirees
participating in bridge jobs, while strong norms that support working
past retirement are positively associated with bridge employment.
