Legal Retirement Age

With the coming rush of population aging and the termination of the demographic dividend, the question on the extension of the legal retirement age is becoming a hot topic in the community. This paper analyzes factors affecting retirement age，such　as demographic dividend, life expectancy, years of education per capita, supply and demand situation in labor market. From these factors, reasonable quantitative reference standards can be introduced.

Legal Retirement Age

This paper identifies, within companies’ sectors of activity, predictors of Human Resource (HR) policies to extend working life (EWL) in light of increasing policy efforts at the European level to extend working life. Three types of EWL practices are investigated: the prevention of early retirement (i.e., encouraging employees to continue working until the legal retirement age); delay of retirement (i.e., encouraging employees to continue working beyond the legal retirement age); and, recruitment of employees who are already retired (i.e., unretirement). A sample of 4624 European organizations that was stratified by size and sector is analyzed in six countries. The main drivers for companies’ EWL practices are the implementation of measures for older workers to improve their performance, their working conditions, and to reduce costs. In industry, the qualities and skills of older workers could be more valued than in other sectors, while the adoption of EWL practices might be less affected by external economic and labor market factors in the public sector. Dutch and Italian employers may be less prone than others to extend working lives. These results underline the importance of raising employers’ awareness and increase their actions to extend employees’ working lives by adopting age management initiatives, especially in SMEs, and in the services and public sectors.

Financial Losses

This chapter examines whether a Citizen's Basic Income is feasible — that is, capable of being legislated and implemented. To answer this question, the chapter considers multiple feasibilities: financial feasibility (whether it would be possible to finance a Citizen's Basic Income, and whether implementation would impose substantial financial losses on any households or individuals); psychological feasibility (whether the idea is readily understood, and understood to be beneficial); administrative feasibility (whether it would be possible to administer a Citizen's Basic Income and to manage the transition); behavioural feasibility (whether a Citizen's Basic Income would work for households and individuals once it was implemented); political feasibility (whether the idea would cohere with existing political ideologies); and policy process feasibility (whether the political process would be able to process the idea through to implementation). After explaining each of these feasibilities in detail, the chapter asks whether they are additive, conjunctive, or disjunctive.

Policy Measures

The aim of this paper is to refl ect on the type of evidence that is required to design policy measures and interventions to reduce inequalities in health. This issue will be discussed in the context of the Dutch national research programmes on inequalities in health. The fi rst type of evidence relates to the background of socioeconomic inequalities in health. From a very simple conceptual scheme, four policy options can be derived: (1) reducing inequalities in socioeconomic goods; (2) changing the distribution of specifi c risk factors across socioeconomic groups; (3) diminishing the effect of health on socioeconomic status; (4) offering extra healthcare for people in lower socioeconomic groups. Whereas the evidence on the background of socioeconomic inequalities in health has increased enormously, there is clearly a lack of evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to tackle inequalities in health, which is the second type of evidence that is required. The Dutch fi ve-year programme, including 12 (quasi) experimental studies on specifi c interventions in different policy fi elds, showed that this second type of evidence is more difficult to collect, partly because of the methodological complexity of these studies. The third type of evidence relates to the political feasibility of policy measures. It is not enough to know that a specifi c determinant of socioeconomic inequalities in health might be effectively addressed by a specifi c intervention. The political will to implement that intervention is obviously a necessary prerequisite for actually reducing inequalities in health. Within the Dutch research programme, the political feasibility of policy measures was explored during a number of conferences, for several policy fi elds. The lack of evidence on, in particular, the effectiveness of interventions to reduce inequalities in health is clearly an obstacle to tackling inequalities in health. On the other hand, it should be ensured that the lack of evidence is not used as an excuse for not taking policy measures at all.
