International comparisons of retirement decisions and well-being of mature age populations: applied micro-economic analyses

澳大利亚需要一项养老金改革，以提高健康和生产率的方式促进成年人更长的工作寿命，这在财务上也是可持续的。这项研究使用尖端的方法和数据来分析有关成年人如何脱离工作走向最终永久退休的决策，以及这些决策与他们的健康和福祉的关系。该报告将澳大利亚与英国、德国和美国进行了比较，从中吸取经验教训，以发展以证据为基础的养老金改革。国际比较研究能够确定单个国家研究很可能遗漏的重要政策、体制和/或文化差异和经验教训。

Australia needs a pension reform to promote longer working lives of mature people in a health- and productivity-enhancing way, that is also financially sustainable. This study uses cutting-edge methodology and data to analyse decisions surrounding how mature people disengage from employment towards their eventual permanent retirement, and how these decisions relate to their health and well-being. It compares and contrasts Australia with the UK, Germany and the US to derive lessons for developing evidence-based pension reform. International comparative research enables the identification of important policy, institutional and/or cultural differences and lessons that may well be missed by single country studies.
