DESCRIPTION:There is increasing concern about possible widening inequalit
 ies in health amongst the older population. There is a growing body of w
 ork on the relationships between patterns of labour market participation
  in later life and health. However the results are equivocal and relativ
 ely little has been done to explore socio-economic variations in the imp
 act of retirement on health. What work has been done suggests that the h
 ealth effects of labour market exit differ according to pre-retirement w
 orking conditions as well as the mode by which one leaves work. Studies 
 show that involuntary labour market exit in later life has been shown to
  be detrimental to general health\, health behaviours and depression. Ho
 wever these studies have often relied on specific occupational samples a
 nd/or subjective health outcomes. In this presentation I will use data f
 rom a nationally representative US longitudinal survey\, the Health and 
 Retirement Survey\, and from a nationally representative Swedish survey\
 , the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Study of Health\, to explore\, i
 ) the impact of retirement on health amongst older Americans with and wi
 thout a chronic illness\, ii) trajectories of health around retirement f
 or different educational groups in America and iii) the impact of involu
 ntary retirement on depression in Sweden. The results suggest that retir
 ement confers a greater benefit on those with prior chronic illness. How
 ever those with the lowest education and those who are forced out of wor
 k report worse health following retirement. These findings raise issues 
 about the viability of Government policies for extending working life.\n
