This article studies the role of working conditions and health for elderly female day-care teachers' decision to enter early retirement. Entry into retirement is analysed in a duration framework that allows for unobserved heterogeneity in the baseline hazard. Data are from a Danish longitudinal data set based on administrative register records for 1997-2006. Working conditions are measured by four indicators. First, work pressure is measured by the child-to-teacher ratio, which varies across municipalities and over time. Second, working conditions are measured by the proportion of children with a problematic social background. Third, the share of trained teachers is considered an indicator of working conditions. And fourth, the size of the institution is assessed as an indicator of working conditions. Regressions in a duration model framework show that there is no significant relationship between the child-to-teacher ratio or the size of the institution and early retirement. However, working conditions measured by the social background of the children and the share of trained day-care teachers have a significant effect on the probability of early retirement. Finally, a poor health condition is associated with a higher propensity to enter early retirement.
本文研究了工作条件和健康状况对老年女性日托教师提前退休决定的影响。退休进入情况在一个持续时间框架内进行分析，该框架考虑了基线风险中未观察到的异质性。数据来自丹麦基于1997 - 2006年行政登记记录的纵向数据集。工作条件通过四个指标来衡量。第一，工作压力通过儿童与教师的比例来衡量，该比例在不同城市和不同时间有所变化。第二，工作条件通过有问题社会背景的儿童比例来衡量。第三，受过培训的教师比例被视为工作条件的一个指标。第四，机构规模被评估为工作条件的一个指标。持续时间模型框架内的回归表明，儿童与教师的比例或机构规模与提前退休之间没有显著关系。然而，由儿童的社会背景和受过培训的日托教师比例所衡量的工作条件对提前退休的概率有显著影响。最后，健康状况不佳与提前退休的较高倾向相关。
