Occupational Differences in the Ability of Men to Delay Retirement.
Chirikos, Thomas N.; Nestel, Gilbert
Journal of Human Resources, v26 n1 p1-26 Win 1991
A competing-risk model was used to test the influence of strenuous work on ability to delay retirement. Hazard rate estimates on data from 3,038 older males found that physical job requirements and health conditions affect the likelihood of retiring in a disabled state. Strenuous and sedentary jobs did not differ greatly. (SK)
