Abstract

This seminar report is intended as data on the basis of which the possibilities of deferring the average retirement age can be evaluated. The report investigates tested-and-true methods by which retirement on a disability pension can be deferred, and the work of partial disability pension recipients supported. It summarizes policy changes in countries of interest to Finland: the OECD countries, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, and reviews experiences gained.
