老年工作如何影响健康状况？我们研究了日本老年男性的工作时间对他们的健康结果的影响，同时考虑到工作和健康之间的内在联系。利用日本老年人的面板数据，我们发现，虽然日本老年男性更喜欢随着年龄的增长而减少工作时间，但如果他们在老年时继续工作，他们的健康不会恶化。这些结果表明，日本老年人可以通过相对减少劳动时间来保持健康。(C)2011 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
How does working in old age affect health status? We examine the impacts of the working hours of elderly Japanese men on their health outcome, taking into account an endogeneity between work and health. Utilizing panel data on the Japanese elderly, we found that while Japanese elderly Males prefer to work for relatively fewer hours as they grow older, their health does not deteriorate if they continue to work in old age. These results suggest that the Japanese elderly can maintain their health by working with a relative decrease in labor hours. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
