与许多公认的文献相反，这篇论文发现，尽管许多年长的员工更愿意减少工作时间(过度就业的人)，但也有相当一部分人希望工作更长时间(就业不足的人)。与个体户比雇员更容易选择理想的工时和工资率组合的假设相反，本文发现，年龄较大的个体户比雇员更有可能希望调整他们的工作时间，无论是向上还是向下。一项新的就业不足指数被用来表明，对于英国来说，自大衰退开始以来，老年工人就业不足的增长速度一直快于失业率的增长。利用英国劳动力调查的纵向数据，本文调查了过度就业和就业不足对从就业和自营职业向其他劳动力市场状态过渡的影响。它证实，过度就业是员工退休的重要预测因素，而就业不足的员工退休的可能性较小。(C)Elsevier B.V.出版的2013年
Contrary to much of the established literature, this paper finds that though many older workers would prefer to reduce their working hours (the overemployed), there is a significant group who would like to work longer hours (the underemployed). And contrary to the assumption that the self-employed are more easily able than employees to select a desired combination of hours and the wage rate, this paper finds that older self-employed workers are more likely to wish to adjust their hours, both upward and downward than are employees. A new index of underemployment is used to show that for the UK, since the onset of the Great Recession, underemployment among older workers has been growing more rapidly than unemployment. Using longitudinal data from the UK Labour Force Survey, the paper investigates the effects of overemployment and underemployment on transitions from employment and self-employment into other labour market states. It confirms that overemployment is a significant predictor of retirement among employees while underemployed employees are less likely to retire. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.
