THE EARLY RETIREMENT ON ILL HEALTH BASES: ACTUAL PROBLEMS IN E. U. MEMBER COUNTRIES
Abstract:
Objectives: the aim of this study was to analyse the actual situation regarding the payed
employment in the European Union, in connection with early retirement on ill health grounds. Methods:
the studies of occupational health, sociology and psychology performed in most of the west- european
countries and also within a transnational mega-study (SHARE), were used in order to create a general
image regarding the labour force, mainly regarding the financially assisted population groups (
unemployed, disable pension, early retired, challenged persons, age -based retired, pupils/students, etc),
of the financial support problem of those groups from countries with different social policies, of the
necessity of measures imposed by the maintaining/recuperating into payed employment of the disabled
persons. Conclusions: despite social,medical and financial different policies in the EU- member
countries, the proportion between the dependents and the employed is between 60-80 to 100 and can get
to a 1 to 1 proportion by 2025: observations and suggestions are made in order to prolonge the duration
of the labour period.
