Abstract: Although the average retirement age is rising, still many workers leave the workforce via different pathways before the official retirement age. To facilitate longer working lives, the aim of this thesis is to gain insight into determinants of leaving paid employment, the possibility to identify high risk groups for displacement from work, and the possible consequences of decreased work ability. The primary objectives of this thesis are: 1. To study determinants of exit from paid employment via disability, unemployment, and early retirement. 2. To explore the predictive value of work ability to identify persons at high risk of longterm sickness absence. 3. To determine the consequences of decreased work ability for health care use.
