Presentation

My research focuses on ability to work and retirement on a disability pension. I am primarily interested in factors that affect retirement on a disability pension and changes in disability retirement. I also study the impact of vocational rehabilitation and other measures that promote continued working. My research is based on extensive register data.

Ongoing research projects

  • Work history of young disability pensioners
  • Changes in share of rejected disability pensions
