Gender discrimination in hiring in older age? Experimental evidence from employer evaluations
Despite extensive research on gender discrimination in hiring, little is known about how gender biases affect job applicants in older age. This study examines whether and how gendered hiring discrimination persists later in life, focusing on variation by the content of the work performed at the workplace, employer gender, and employer role. Drawing on a factorial survey experiment with 5017 Danish employers and 20,068 applicant evaluations, we as…
Interethnic Union Formation Among 1.5- and Second-Generation Immigrants
We examine 1.5- and second-generation immigrants’ union formation patterns in Denmark and how they relate to the cultural proximity between their countries of origin and Denmark as indicated by religion, values, and language. Drawing on administrative register data on 71,122 1.5- and second-generation immigrants from 120 different countries of origin, we use multilevel discrete-time event history analysis to examine the nexus between cultural pro…
Does volunteering reduce antidepressant use among older adults? Longitudinal register-based evidence from Denmark
Antidepressant use among older adults has surged in recent years. This is concerning since antidepressants have serious side effects and limited efficacy when used as a stand-alone treatment. Against this background, it has been claimed that volunteering may reduce antidepressant use, by preventing depressive symptoms and offering alternative ways to manage them. To test this claim, we merge the Danish Longitudinal Study of Aging with register da…
Age discrimination in hiring
In a preregistered nationwide factorial survey experiment among 5017 Danish employers and 20,068 vignettes, we examined the interplay between applicant age (45-75 years) and other applicant characteristics in hiring discrimination. The experiment enabled us to examine the relative importance of age compared to other forms of hiring discrimination, as well as the additive and multiplicative effects. First, regarding relative importance, our study …
Danske arbejdspladsers personalehåndtering under Covid-19 med særligt fokus på seniorarbejdskraften
Eksisterende forskning har allerede belyst, hvordan køns-, etniske og socioøkonomiske uligheder på arbejdsmarkedet er blevet forstærket under covid-19-pandemien. Denne artikel adskiller sig fra den eksisterende forskning derved, at fokus er på alder. Nærmere bestemt rettes blikket mod mulige aldersbetingede forskelle i arbejdsgivernes fastholdelses- og afskedigelsesmønstreunder covid-19-krisen. Teoretisk tager artiklen afsæt i de sociologiske seg…
Managing an ageing workforce
This study addresses a critical gap in our understanding of how the employer and workplace context influences the working career of older employees. Leveraging linked employer-employee data, this study examines the impact of workplace retention practices on an early labour market exit for employees aged fifty-five to sixty-four in Denmark. The findings reveal that, for those eligible for early retirement, work environment adaptation, re-employmen…
Early Retirement and Social Class
Empirical evidence on the effect of the timing of retirement on post-retirement health is so far inconclusive regarding the causal nature of this relationship, and little is known about how the effect varies by social class. This paper uses birth cohort variation in incentives to postpone early retirement in an instrumental variable framework to estimate the causal effect of early retirement on post-retirement health as indicated by visits to gen…
Labour market disadvantage or poor health upon arrival? An examination of the native-immigrant gap in early retirement on a disability pension
Non-Western immigrants in Scandinavia have a higher risk of early retirement on a disability pension than natives, but the reasons are unclear. One theory is that increased demands for standardization, efficiency and productivity in advanced capitalist labour markets, such as the Scandinavian market, cause expulsion of the weakest and least qualified individuals from the labour market, including a disproportionate share of non-Western immigrants.…
The working class and early retirement in Denmark
Previous research finds that members of the working class have a higher risk of early retirement compared to professionals because they are pushed into early retirement. This indicates that not all workers can respond to incentives to extend their working life. Yet, little previous work has been conducted to quantify systematically the extent to which push factors explain why members of the working class have a higher risk of early retirement com…
Educational inequalities in health after work exit
Educational inequalities in health are still present after work exit. If workers are to spend an extended part of their lives at work due to an increase in the statutory retirement age, these health inequalities may increase. Improving working conditions will likely reduce these inequalities in health
