Does outlawing mandatory retirement reduce public-pension benefit claim?

ABSTRACT Exploiting the 2011 abolishment of the mandatory-retirement provision that had allowed employers to force retirement of their 65-or-older employees in the UK, this paper estimates the effect of outlawing mandatory retirement on public-pension benefit claim behaviour of the elderly through changing their employment and retirement rates. Abolishing mandatory retirement raises public-pension claim rate of non-household-head benefit-eligible individuals by making them retire more, while it lowers public-pension claim rate of household-head benefit-eligible individuals by lowering their retirement rate. On the other hand, the abolishment raises full-time employment rate of the elderly, regardless of household-head status or gender.
