The study examines the labor-force behavior of Israelis at older ages, focusing on the determinants of the transitions between states of labor-force participation between 2005 and 2010. The study uses panel data from the first two waves of the SHARE-Israel longitudinal survey. A multinomial logit model is used to examine the impact of sociodemographic characteristics, health state, and economic resources on labor-force transitions of people aged 50-67. The results emphasize the role of age and poor health in "pushing" older people out of the labor force or "keeping" them there. Spouse's participation is found to encourage individuals to leave the labor force or to refrain from joining it. However, living with a participating spouse is negatively associated with staying out of the labor force, consistent with the dominance of the complementarity of leisure effect found in the literature. Wealth as an economic resource available to individuals for retirement is also found to encourage individuals to leave the labor force or to refrain from joining it.
该研究考察了以色列老年人的劳动力行为，重点关注2005年至2010年间劳动力参与状态转变的决定因素。该研究使用了来自SHARE-以色列纵向调查前两波的面板数据。采用多项logit模型来检验社会人口特征、健康状况和经济资源对50-67岁人群劳动力转变的影响。结果强调了年龄和健康状况不佳在“推动”老年人退出劳动力市场或“使”他们留在劳动力市场中的作用。研究发现配偶的参与会促使个人离开劳动力市场或避免加入劳动力市场。然而，与有工作的配偶一起生活与不进入劳动力市场呈负相关，这与文献中发现的休闲互补效应占主导地位一致。作为个人可用于退休的经济资源的财富也被发现会促使个人离开劳动力市场或避免加入劳动力市场。
