Study warns of health risks from increasing retirement age
The study highlights the health risks associated with raising the retirement age, revealing that increasing health obstacles and physical fatigue accompany aging, while the years spent in good health decline between the ages of 18 and 44. Although the incidence of serious diseases such as cancer and heart disease has decreased, musculoskeletal disorders are on the rise and appear earlier, adding to healthcare burdens throughout working life. The findings indicate that factors such as increasing rates of obesity, workload intensity, job changes, and education levels are influenced by health status, with greater risks for individuals with higher education levels and those engaged in physically or mentally demanding jobs. These results call for a reassessment of retirement policies to ensure a balance between labor market demands and employee health.
