"The findings suggest that prolonging working life may have both adverse and beneficial effects on health, and these effects differ
across educational level of individuals. National policies to increase labor force participation at an older age should acknowledge that health inequalities may increase when every person is required to be in paid employment until the same age before being able to retire."
