. Health, Disability, and Pathways into Retirement in Spain
This chapter, which analyzes the trends in labor force participation and transitions to benefit programs of older workers in Spain, shows that despite the large improvements in mortality rates among older individuals, the employment rates of individuals over fifty-five remain lower compared to the rates observed in the late 1970s. There is no conclusive evidence on whether morbidity has improved or worsened during the period of analysis. Regarding the effects of social security reforms, the study finds that both the 1997 and the 2002 reforms decreased the stock into old-age benefits at the cost of an increased share into disability.
