Raising the Mandatory Retirement Age and its Effect on Long‐run Income and Pay‐as‐you‐go ( PAYG ) Pensions

Abstract

Abstract In this paper we study the effects of raising the mandatory retirement age in the neoclassical growth model context. It is shown that postponement of the retirement age may be harmful for long‐run income and even for pensions. Our findings show that the retirement age might be reduced, thereby obtaining a higher income and even higher pension benefits. This suggests that the idea that a higher mandatory age of retirement is always beneficial in the long run for income and pension payments is theoretically controversial.
