Older Americans Would Work Longer if Jobs Were Flexible
研究发现，许多已退休的年长美国人仍有强烈的工作意愿，但缺乏灵活的工作机会限制了他们的劳动参与，而非不愿工作。这对设计促进年长者就业的政策有参考价值。
Older Americans, even those who are long retired, have strong willingness to work, especially in jobs with flexible schedules. For many, labor force participation near or after normal retirement age is limited more by a lack of acceptable job opportunities or low expectations about finding them than by unwillingness to work longer. This paper establishes these findings using an approach to identification based on strategic survey questions, purposefully designed to complement behavioral data. These findings suggest that demand-side factors are important in explaining late-in-life labor market behavior and need to be considered in designing policies aimed at promoting working longer.
