Auf der Basis von Daten der American Health and Retirement Study wird untersucht, ob sich eine Kompression der Mobidität nachweisen lässt, und wie sich dies auf die Erwerbsbeteilgung älterer Menschen auswirkt. Es wird gezeigt, dass jüngere Kohorten trotz steigender Lebenserwartung länger von funktionalen Einschränkungen verschont bleiben als ältere Kohorten. Da die Erwerbsbeteiligung mit dem Grad der Behinderung sinkt, wird erwartet, dass Individuen durch die verzögerte Manifestation chronischer Krankheiten und Behinderungen länger in der Lage sein werden zu arbeiten.

"This paper tests whether there is evidence of compression of morbidity using data from the American Health and Retirement Study and analyzes the effects of this on the labor supply of older people. We find younger cohorts to suffer less from functional problems than older cohorts at given ages. Furthermore, we observe that instrumentalized disability has a negative effect on labor force participation. According to the cohort analysis and the multivariate analysis, it can be concluded that individuals will be able to work longer because of the delay in the onset of disability problems."
