Effects of digital skills and other individual factors on retirement decision‑making and their gender differences
Martin Lakomý
Rapid digitalisation in the labour market brings additional uncertainties for older workers, who can opt for early retirement due to increasing digital demands of work. Martin Lakomý studied the impact of digital skills on retirement planning, which has not been covered yet.
Digital literacy: Lower digital skills are connected to retirement planning in standard analytical procedures, but this connection has a form of association – not a causal effect. Family structure: The birth of a new grandchild strongly (and causally) increases retirement plans for women, but not for men.
Self-employment: Older workers in this type of job plan to work longer. Do you think the difference emanates from higher work flexibility or lower pension eligibility of older workers?
Curious about the detailed results on characteristics affecting which older workers intend to retire as soon as possible?
