The impact of state income tax breaks on savings and income security in retirement
State policies exempting retirement income from taxation have the potential to change how people save and spend down their savings in retirement. Using Social Security earnings records linked to the Health and Retirement Survey, this study shows people in states with income tax exemptions on retirement income increase in contributions to tax-deferred retirement accounts. While people in these states accumulate more savings in expectation of being…
To what extent are older career workers’ hourly wages reduced when work hours are scaled back
Older workers generally, and pension-eligible workers in particular, face many trade-offs when it comes to continued work later in life. In this study, we explore the degree to which older workers accept lower hourly wages in return for hours reductions. We use longitudinal, biennial data on nearly 14,000 older Americans from the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study. The Health and Retirement Study began in 1992 and now contains …
Inclusionary Leadership-Perspectives, Experiences and Perceptions of Principals Leading Autism Classes in Irish Primary Schools
This study explores the experiences, practices and perceptions of primary school principals currently leading autism classes in Ireland. Autism classes in mainstream primary schools are becoming increasingly common in the Irish education system. The prevalence of autism classes highlights the importance of their role in enabling autistic children to attend mainstream schools. It reflects the increasing number of autistic pupils who require these …
Does the Catch-up contribution policy improve retirement preparedness
Over a quarter of U.S. adults are expected to retire in the coming decade, retirees with inadequate savings could face financial difficulties including having to rely on public welfare during retirement. Amid the rapid aging of the U.S. population, this article examines the causal effect of the Catch-up Contribution provision introduced in 2001 on retirement assets and nonretirement savings. We investigate the expectation that incentives for poli…
Uneven Returns to Nondegree Work Credentials for Older Workers
Using the U.S. Adult Training and Education Survey (N = 41,442), we examined the impact of acquiring nondegree work credentials at different ages on labor market outcomes, focusing on those close to retirement age. We examined two types of work credentials—occupational licenses and certifications. The majority of survey respondents, aged 16–66 years when surveyed, earned their most important credential, especially occupational licenses, at an ear…
Changes in Private Pensions and Income Inequality in Retirement
Private pensions have expanded in recent decades in many European countries, albeit to different extent. As private pensions historically have been more unequally distributed than public pensions, it is reasonable to expect that pension privatization has increased the dispersion of incomes among the retired. However, few studies have empirically tested this claim. The purpose of this study is to assess how the expansion of private pensions affect…
Aging Workforce, Productivity, and Wages in Japan
We use a panel data set of Japanese firms from 2005 to 2019 to examine how a firm’s employee age structure affects its productivity and wages. The pooled ordinary-least-squares (OLS) results indicate a negative relationship between the proportion of older employees and labor productivity. However, the effects disappear after applying a fixed effects (FE) model and the generalized method of moments to consider the unobserved heterogeneity among fi…
Making a difference in educational inequality
This article is a reflective, research-informed, commentary on educational disadvantage from two lecturers in Education who have spent large proportions of their professional lives working in ‘DEIS’ school settings before transitioning into teacher education. This reflection intends to problematise the concept of educational disadvantage and will then proceed to explore, through literature and some empirical findings, possibilities for changing p…
Changes in Job Quality as People Work Beyond Pensionable Age in Sweden
Large numbers of people remain in paid work after pensionable age, often in bridge jobs or with reduced working hours. Remarkably, knowledge about the quality of these jobs relative to those taken prior to pension eligibility is very limited. In this paper, we examined changes in job quality among workers in their sixties in the context of contemporaneous changes in work intensity and employment characteristics. This study is based on data from t…
Assessing the Capacity to Work Among Older Workers
Whether increases to statutory retirement ages will have the anticipated effect in countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) depends on whether workers have the health capacity to postpone retirement. Methods that were proposed to measure the capacity to work at older age are ill-designed to assess inter-cohort trends, which is important for determining whether the amount of years spent retired and in good hea…
Intersections of social class and special educational needs in a Deis post-primary school
This paper explores how special educational needs (SEN) and social class can become intertwined in post-primary school choice in Ireland. The paper draws on data generated during a three-year ethnographic study of a DEIS school. Data are analysed using Holland et al.’s (1998. Identity and Agency in Cultural Worlds. Boston, MA: Harvard University Press) positional identities, authored selves and figured worlds in order to examine how learner ident…
Gaelic4Girls—The Effectiveness of a 10-Week Multicomponent Community Sports-Based Physical Activity Intervention for 8 to 12-Year-Old Girls
Girls are less active than boys throughout childhood and adolescence, with limited research focusing on female community sports-based programs. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a multi-component, community sports-based intervention for increasing girl's physical activity (PA) levels, fundamental movement skill (FMS) proficiency, and psychological wellbeing, as relative to a second treatment group (the traditionally delivered nationa…

Socio-sartorial inscriptions of social class in a study of school and identity in Ireland
This paper explores how classed identities are constituted through the socio-sartorial inscriptions of a working-class school and community in an Irish city in the twenty-first century. The data of the paper were generated through a wider three-year critical ethnography of a school community. The focus here is upon the identity work of the participants as it is connected to the school and the wider community. The article makes a particular contri…
Views from the margins
Alternative education provision in Ireland is under-researched. This paper is a qualitative investigation of the perspectives of a purposive sample of ten teachers on curriculum, pedagogy and assessment in their respective alternative settings of a voluntary education centre, a Youthreach centre and a post-primary special school. ‘Funds of knowledge’ ideas contribute to the theoretical framework of the study [Moll, Luis C., Cathy Amanti, Deborah …
Psycho-spatial disidentification and class fractions in a study of social class and identity in an urban post-primary school community in Ireland
This paper draws on a three-year critical ethnography which interrogated intersections of social class, school and identity in an urban Irish community. The focus here is on the psycho-spatial disidentifications, inscriptions and class fractioning enacted throughout the school and community of Portown by a cohort of succeeding students from this predominantly working-class community. This paper makes a significant contribution through a unique fo…
The Relative Effectiveness of the Minimum Wage and the Earned Income Tax Credit as Anti-Poverty Tools
In the search for effective measures to combat poverty, two government policies have been given much attention. One is the establishment of a federal minimum wage to help workers secure a decent standard of living. The second measure is the Earned Income Tax Credit, which gives tax refunds to workers in households that fall below a set standard of income. Both policies have supporters and critics regarding the effectiveness of the policies. This …
The Habitus , Coping Practices, and the Search for the Ground of Action
The article shows how in Outline of a Theory of Practice Pierre Bourdieu relies on a kind of philosophical myth in his attempt to dispel structuralist accounts of action. Section 2 is a summary of Bourdieu’s use of the concept of habitus against intellectualism and structuralism. Schatzki’s criticism of Bourdieu from a purportedly Wittgensteinian perspective is also examined. Section 3 relates Bourdieu’s use of habitus to a debate between Hubert …

The Impact of a Randomly Assigned Time and Place Management Initiative on Work and Retirement Expectations
This article examines the causal relationship between a workplace flexibility arrangement and retirement expectations. The data come from a unique large-scale randomly assigned time and place management (TPM) initiative that recently took place at a regional healthcare system in the United States with more than 9,000 employees. A difference-in-differences approach was used to assess treatment impacts among older full-time career employees and com…
Naturalism and the Friends of Understanding
Paul Roth claims that “interpretivists” in the philosophy of social sciences like Charles Taylor assume a positivist caricature of natural science to motivate their arguments against naturalism in the social sciences. Roth argues that not only is adopting the view of meaning relied upon by those he sometimes refers to as the “friends of understanding” unmotivated once the critique of positivism has been taken on board, he argues further that Quin…
