We show that remaining in work has significant positive causal effects on the average cognition and physical mobility of older women in England.

This special issue is the second in a two-part series on the evolution of labour market and disposable income inequalities over recent decades.

The choices of policy makers affect the incentive to work at older ages and these incentives have important effects on retirement behavior. 

The papers in this two-part special issue seek to provide the bases for consistent comparisons across 17 North American and European countries.

This current symposium contains a collection of papers on the UK Household Longitudinal Survey, most commonly known as Understanding Society.

This set of issues was showcased at the 4th World Bank Tax Conference in September 2022, which focused on ‘Global Tax Equity’.

We examine age-specific mortality trends and racial gaps in life expectancy in high- and low-income US areas with reference to six European countries.

We describe the association between recent changes in socioeconomic inequality and trends in mortality disparities for different age and sex groups at small-area level in England.

Using objective measures of lung function, we document strong positive associations in health within couples in all European countries but large and significant differences in this correlation within broad European regions, with Southern Europe having by far stronger correlations than elsewhere.

Introduction to to 'The Evolution of Mortality Inequality in 11 OECD Countries'

In this paper, we study the evolution of age-group- and gender-specific mortality and mortality inequality in England between 2003 and 2016, by comparing small geographic areas ranked by deprivation and grouped into bins of similar population size.
