Social security programs and retirement around the world
Abstract
The populations in all industrialized countries are aging rapidly and individual life expectancies are increasing. Yet older workers are leaving the labor force at younger and younger ages....Together these trends have put enormous pressure on the financial solvency of social security systems around the world....This paper is a summary of the findings of the evidence in eleven industrialized countries....It is clear there is a strong correspondence between the age at which benefits are available and departure from the labor force....We conclude that social security program provisions have indeed contributed to the decline in the labor force participation of older persons substantially reducing the potential productive capacity of the labor force.

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.
