Presentation

My research focuses on retirement on a disability pension. I am interested in factors that contribute to disability retirement and the changes in disability retirement over time. My recent studies have dealt with risk factors of disability retirement and rejections of disability pension applications as well as company-level determinants of disability retirement and vocational rehabilitation.  My research is based on extensive register data and conducted in cooperation with, among others, researchers from Kela, the National Public Health Institute and different universities.
