This article explores to what extent a disability-insurance-law for employees in the Netherlands (the WAO) functions as an early-retirement-program. It is shown that there are strong positive correlations between age and the chance to quality for disability-benefits on the one hand and age and the duration of the disability on the other hand. This results in reduced participation-rates among older age-groups in the laborforce. This is one of the reasons why the pensionable age fixed by law at sixty-five does not lead to a clear-cut rift in these participation-rates at this pensionable age.
本文探讨了荷兰针对雇员的残疾保险法（WAO）在多大程度上起到了提前退休计划的作用。研究表明，一方面，年龄与获得残疾福利的机会之间存在很强的正相关关系；另一方面，年龄与残疾持续时间之间也存在很强的正相关关系。这导致劳动力中年龄较大群体的参与率降低。这就是法定退休年龄定为65岁并没有在该退休年龄导致这些参与率出现明显差异的原因之一。
