Abstract

This paper examines the impact of delayed retirement, induced by pension reforms, on late-career mental health, focusing on working conditions. While studies have analysed aspects of job quality – such as high-strain roles and automation risk – none have considered the full range of job characteristics shaping workers’ experiences. We address this gap by analysing six key dimensions of job quality: skills and discretion, working time quality, physical environment, social environment, work intensity, and career prospects. To mitigate endogeneity concerns in self-reported mental health measures, we incorporate occupation-level data on working conditions from external sources.
