We examine how both the welfare regime and health affect retirement trajectories in countries with flexible retirement policies using longitudinal methods and harmonized panel data from two social-democratic (Sweden and Denmark) and two liberal welfare regimes (Chile and the United States). An early retirement trajectory, which represents retirement in the early 60s, is the most frequent in all countries, although it is less prevalent in liberal than in social-democratic regimes. Adverse health conditions are more frequent among early retirees in liberal but not in social-democratic regimes. Overall, we do not find evidence for an inciting effect of flexible retirement policies on working life extension. However, welfare regimes substantially affect late-life labor force participation.
我们使用纵向方法和来自两个社会民主（瑞典和丹麦）和两个自由福利制度（智利和美国）的协调面板数据，研究在具有灵活退休政策的国家中，福利制度和健康状况如何影响退休轨迹。在所有国家中，最早的退休轨迹（代表在 60 岁出头退休）最为常见，尽管在自由福利制度国家中比在社会民主福利制度国家中更为普遍。在自由福利制度国家中，提前退休者中健康状况不佳的情况更为普遍，但在社会民主福利制度国家中则并非如此。总体而言，我们没有发现灵活退休政策对延长工作寿命有刺激作用的证据。然而，福利制度确实会对晚年劳动力参与产生重大影响。
