Social security and labor force participation in the Netherlands

Article Abstract:

An analysis of decreased social security participation in the Netherlands reveals that the phenomenon may be largely explained by legislation that provides incentives for early retirement. The study points to social legislation particularly earnings-replacing benefits, disability insurance unemployment insurance and early retirement insurance as the most probable causes of declining social security participation rates.

Social security and declining labor-force participation in Germany

Article Abstract:

An analysis of social security legislation in Germany reveals that social security reform has encouraged early retirement and has thus helped increase the imbalance between payees and beneficiaries. The study also points out that further erosion of the tax base is likely and that the window of change is relatively small as the median of voters above 50 will be reached within 10 years.

Pensions and labor-market participation in the United Kingdom

Article Abstract:

An analysis of decreased social security participation in the United Kingdom reveals that the relatively low demand for unskilled labor and the generous incentive plans available have contributed to the decline. The study also shows that significant increases in pension wealth and the generous treatment of early retirement have had a significant positive effect on early retirement.
