In the current discussion of health care policy, the trend in early retirement figures is frequently taken as an indicator of the efficiency of the health care services in our country, or of the disease promoting factors at the workplace. The present study shows that no such direct monitoring of these two problem complexes by reference to the early retirement figures is possible. On the contrary, the high degree of dependence of these figures on social factors is demonstrated. The development of early retirement figures substantially depends on supreme court legislation, job market situation and exceptional demographic alterations. These and others reservations make the invalidity figures basically unsuitable for tracing developments in health care policy.
在当前关于医疗保健政策的讨论中，提前退休人数的趋势常常被视为我国医疗保健服务效率或工作场所疾病促发因素的一个指标。本研究表明，无法通过提前退休人数对这两个问题复合体进行如此直接的监测。相反，这些数据对社会因素的高度依赖性得到了证明。提前退休人数的变化很大程度上取决于最高法院的立法、就业市场状况和特殊的人口结构变化。这些以及其他一些限制因素使得残疾数据基本上不适用于追踪医疗保健政策的发展情况。
