Presentation

My research deals with retirement, retirement intentions, continued working and working lives.  My recent projects have dealt with partial old-age pension, the labour market effects of the increasing statutory retirement age, socio-economic differences in old-age retirement, and retirement intentions.  In my work, I use individual-level register and questionnaire data. I am a Doctor of Economic Sciences (University of Jyväskylä), majoring in national economics. I have specialised in labour economics, regional economics and applicable micro econometrics.
