The vast differences in social security program provisions across countries have provided a natural laboratory for our ongoing international comparison project to study the influence of program provisions on individual behavior. The findings have made clear that social security provisions in most countries induce older workers to leave the labor force early, and that the large difference in retirement behavior across countries can be explained in large part by the provisions of these programs. The findings also show that much of the inducement to retire comes through programs nominally labeled "disability insurance," although it is evident that in many countries these programs essentially serve as routes to early retirement before the social security early retirement age. Beyond these results, there are several additional questions that we believe must be addressed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the broader implications of social security reform. The proposal is to continue international comparative analysis with our established team of participants. There are three aims: (1) To understand the relationship between social security system provisions and the well-being of the elderly--as well as the young. (2) To understand the relationship between social security system provisions and the employment of the young. (3) To understand how the relationship between health status and retirement varies with the provisions of social security (including disability insurance) programs, and to understand how the well-being of the disabled and the non-disabled elderly depends on program provisions. The prospect of comparable longitudinal data for the study of the health and retirement of older persons--through the nexus of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA), and the forthcoming Survey of Health Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) surveys--makes such analysis especially timely.

各个国家的社会保障计划规定的巨大差异为我们正​​在进行的国际比较项目提供了一个自然实验室，以研究计划规定对个人行为的影响。这些发现明确指出，大多数国家的社会保障条款诱使年长的工人尽早离开劳动力，并且在各个国家的退休行为的巨大差异在很大程度上可以通过这些计划的规定来解释。研究结果还表明，退休的大部分诱因是通过名义上标记为“残疾保险”的计划，尽管很明显，在许多国家，这些计划本质上是在社会保障及早退休时代之前提前退休的途径。除这些结果外，我们认为必须解决一些其他问题，以便对社会保障改革的更广泛含义有更全面的理解。该提案是继续与我们已建立的参与者团队继续国际比较分析。有三个目标：（1）了解 社会保障系统规定与年轻人之间的福祉之间的关系。 （2）了解社会保障系统规定与年轻人的雇用之间的关系。 （3）了解健康状况与退休之间的关系如何随社会保障计划（包括残疾保险）计划的规定而变化，并了解残疾人和非残疾人的福祉如何取决于计划规定。通过卫生和退休研究（HRS）的纽带，英国的衰老纵向研究（ELSA）以及即将进行的欧洲健康衰老和保留调查（SHOAPE）调查（份额）调查（尤其是及时的分析），对老年人的健康和退休的可比纵向数据的前景尤其及时进行。
