Socioeconomic status and disability retirement in Finland
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years the longer working lives and the postponing of the retirement age have been topics of extensive discussion in Finland. Disability pensions play an important role in this debate. Working lives will lengthen if the incidence of disability retirement diminishes. Efficient actions can be focused on preventing disability retirement, if the groups at risk of disability retirement are identified. According to earlier studies, there are large socioeconomic inequalities in disability retirement. Manual workers have been found to be at a higher risk of disability retirement compared to upper non-manual employees. However, broader knowledge of socioeconomic differences in disability retirement due to different diseases would be useful in order to lengthen working lives.
