Extension of working lives: gender perspective of retirement timing in the Czech Republic and Sweden. Preliminary results.

Original language description

Extension of working life in relation to the demographic development belongs to the most import issues the European nations face today. The objective of this paper, which is based upon work from ISCH COST Action IS1409 Gender and health impacts of policies extending working life in western countries, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), is to analyse individual psychological factors of late workers influencing their preference to leave the labour market. The research sample is based on the data of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (wave 6), using the variables of data package Employment-Pension (containing data on self-reported aspect of work perception as job satisfaction, recognition for work, health limits, etc.) for the group of economically active persons. The research focuses on 2 countries: Sweden (N=942) and Czech Republic (N=880) as these countries are symbolically located in geographically distant and culturally different areas of the EU, however, being similar in terms of the population size. The combination of non-parametric statistical tests and logit models is used for each nation, using the variables for the gender differences. The results show that Sweden exhibits only moderate gender differences as regards the subjective work perceptions in relation to the extension of working life. Late workers in the Czech Republic exhibit a relatively wide spectrum of factors influencing the extension of working life. The results bring suggestions on the existence of cross-cultural differences as well as information for the EU policy-makers within the framework of labour market and working life extension.
