title: The decision to retire:  the case of Dutch men aged 50-64.
abstract: "The main aim of this paper is to determine the extent to which people respond to economic incentives with respect to the decision to retire from the labour force.  The data used are for Dutch men aged 50-64. First, a brief description is given of the labour force status of the elderly in the Netherlands.  Then an attempt is made to estimate the impact on the retirement decision of the replacement rate and the income of the spouse by estimating a five-equation model.  It is concluded that these economic factors play a significant role." (SUMMARY IN FRE)
