Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to better understand and:
1. Explain the impact of labour market policy on early retirement
2. Identify risk factors for and have an understanding for the association between long-term sickness absence and disability pension
3. Identify the role of core capabilities and health functioning during the late working life and labour market affiliation.
4. Explain retirement transition and its relationship with psychological well-being
5. Have an insight in rehabilitation, such as transition from long-term sickness absence and return to work.
Content
The Nordic welfare states are highly dependent on a high employment rate and strong focus on education, health care, and active labour market policies (1). Denmark has a very active labour market policy, but still 25% of the working age population is out of the labour market (1). Maintaining core capabilities and appropriate health functioning during adult life is an important goal of public health and labour market policy because reduced health and functioning are shown to be associated with early retirement (2, 3). Further, long-term sickness absence tends to marginalize the worker from the workplace and is associated with risk of future disability pension (4-6). To understand the dynamics of the retirement transition, it is important to understand the retirement transition and its relationship with psychological well-being with respect to various resources and contexts surrounding this transition (gender, prior level of psychological well-being, spouses’ circumstance, and changes in personal control, marital quality, subjective health, and income adequacy) (7, 8). During the course research studies investigating different aspects of conditions relevant for labour market attachment will be presented and discussed in relation to the participants’ PhD-projects.
