  • If education and health investments raise the productivity of workers and allow them to work to older ages, an increase in the retirement age is likely to be more effective than it would be without better health and education.

    “if education and health investments raise the productivity of workers and allow them to work to older ages, an increase in the retirement age is likely to be more effective than it would be without better health and education (Kuhn et al. 2015, Sánchez-Romero et al. 2016).”

    From Fertility in High-Income Countries: Trends, Patterns, Determinants, and Consequences (2024) · cites this paper as Sánchez-Romero et al. 2016

    The Introduction (page unavailable) says more schooling can raise wages and the marginal benefit of working, while the Conclusion says mortality declines after retirement can lead to later retirement. But the paper does not assess whether education or health investments make an increase in the retirement age more effective; its Conclusion says the model abstracts from mandatory retirement ages.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
