This study analyses the results from the first wave of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.

This chapter provides a complete cross-sectional description of the labour market activity and retirement status of the older population in England.

Possibly one of the most pressing concerns in the debate on the ageing population is whether individuals will have adequate economic resources to maintain sufficient standards of living in retirement, and, if not, what the government can provide, in terms of health care and retirement income, to meet the needs of a population with an increasing fraction of older individuals.

This paper studies the relationship between demographic change and international capital flows using a large cross-country time-series dataset.

In this paper we investigate the way consumption changes around retirement in Italy.

In this paper we use the two waves of the British Retirement Survey (1988/1989 and 1994) to quantify the relationship between socioeconomic status and health outcomes.

These slides were presented at a SEDAP conference on the 10-11 April 2003.

In this Briefing Note, we discuss whether or not the government's proposed reforms are likely to help individuals to make choices about how to provide for their retirement that are appropriate to their circumstances. We focus particularly on whether or not the proposals might prompt those individuals who are not thought to be providing sufficiently for their retirement to save more each year or to retire at an older age than might otherwise have been the case.

We examine the role of ill-health in retirement decisions in Britain, using the first eight waves of the British Household Panel Survey (1991-98).

We estimate the effect of pension reforms on households' expectations and wealth accumulation decisions.
