New paper in with Martin Kolk. We find that as a function of pre-retirement earnings and lifespan, lifetime pensions tend to be more unequally distributed than both. Declining lifespan inequality is a major reason why lifetime pension inequality declined across cohorts.
🆕Publication❗ No previous research has examined how large inequalities are when looking at total lifetime pensions. That is why Jiaxin Shi MPIDR Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science & Martin Kolk Stockholm University examined the inequalities in lifetime pensions in 🇸🇪 . 👉demogr.mpg.de/go/pension
Great opportunity to work with MLSFH: Malawi Longitudinal Study Families & Health on innovative research on aging in Malawi
