This study examines the health of a sample representative of 1.8 million men aged 45-59 in 1969 who permanently withdrew from the labor force before age 62 between 1966-1975. The analysis concentrates on comparing the health of men receiving Social Security disability benefits with that of men reporting work-limiting health conditions at labor force withdrawal but not receiving Social Security disability benefits. The data suggest that the health of these groups is more similar than dissimilar. The major policy implication of the study is that consideration should be given to liberalizing the eligibility criteria for the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability programs as they apply to older workers.
本研究调查了1969年年龄在45至59岁之间、于1966年至1975年期间在62岁之前永久退出劳动力队伍的180万男性样本的健康状况。分析集中于比较领取社会保障残疾福利的男性与那些在退出劳动力队伍时报告有工作限制健康状况但未领取社会保障残疾福利的男性的健康状况。数据表明，这些群体的健康状况相似之处多于不同之处。该研究的主要政策含义是，应考虑放宽社会保障和补充保障收入（SSI）残疾计划适用于老年工人的资格标准。
