Working after State Pension Age: Quantitative Analysis
Research Report No. 182
By Deborah Smeaton and Stephen McKay
This research aims to further understanding about the factors affecting the labour market participation of older people at, and after, SPA. The report presents findings based on cross-sectional analyses of the Labour Force Survey and Family Resources Survey and longitudinal analyses of the British Household Panel Survey. The report examines the circumstances under which people work after SPA, the types of jobs they have, and the impact working post-SPA has on the wealth, health and happiness of the working compared with the non-working retired population. The Policy Studies Institute was commissioned to carry out this study and the second stage of the research, a qualitative study investigating findings from this research in more depth.
