Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the retirement decision in the United Kingdom. We distinguish four retirement routes: retirement, unemployment, long-term sickness and other states.

We conclude that participation in an occupational pension scheme increases the retirement hazard rate for men. The results for women are less clear-cut given the relatively small number of women entitled to an occupational pension scheme ... Cet article a pour objectif l'analyse de la décision de partir à la retraite au Royaume-Uni.

Nous estimons des modèles logits multinomiaux et des modèles de Cox à taux de risqué proportionnel, séparément pour les hommes et les femmes. La conclusion que nous en tirons est que la participation à un régime de retraite professionnel accroît, chez les hommes, le taux de risque de retraite. Les résultats concernant les femmes sont moins précis étant donné le nombre relativement faible de femmes affiliées à un régime de retraite professionnel ...
