大约15%的65岁以上的人就业。由于提前退休和美国人口老龄化趋势的明显逆转，这些人正在成为劳动力中越来越重要的一部分。然而，很少有研究探讨这一人群的劳动力市场行为。在本文中，作者研究了一系列问题，试图更好地理解为什么老年人继续工作。结果表明，劳动力供应集中在受教育程度最高、最富有和最健康的老年人中。尽管如此，作者发现，老年人的工资无论是相对于年轻人口还是相对于他们年轻时的工资都很低。在70岁以上的人群中，作者发现健康状况的变化主导着劳动力市场的转变。总体而言，研究结果表明，非金钱的考虑发挥了重要作用，在确定老年劳动力供应的决定。
Approximately 15 percent of individuals over the age of 65 are employed. Due to the apparent reversal in the trend toward early retirement and the aging of the U.S. population, these individuals are becoming an increasingly important part of the labor force. However, very little research has examined labor market behavior in this population. In this paper, the authors examine a series of questions in an attempt to better understand why the elderly continue to work. The results indicate that labor supply is concentrated among the most educated, wealthiest, and healthiest elderly. Despite this, the authors find that the wages of the elderly are low both relative to younger populations and relative to the wages they earned when they themselves were young. Among individuals over the age of 70, the authors find that changes in health status dominate labor market transitions. Overall, the findings suggest that non-pecuniary considerations play an important role in determining elderly labor supply decisions.
