Recently, Russia has been actively developing and implementing the state policy of encouraging theemploymentofpeopleoftheoldergeneration. Thepurposeofthepaperistoidentifytheinterconnection between the employment of pensioners and their health (on the example of pension age women in the most active age group), which will allow justifying the more efficient policy in this area. The study is aimed at the test of two hypotheses, put forward due to the analysis of theoretical models and sociological surveys of the population. The first one suggests that retirees’ labor activity contributes to the preservation of their health; the second one states that only retirees, whose health allows doing it, continue to work. A diagram of the dependencies between the retirees’ employment, their health, and other factors, which formed the basis of the regression models, is generated. As a criterion of testing the hypotheses set in the research, two multivariate linear regression models, which evaluate the statistical dependence between employment, health status of pensioners, and other variables, were constructed. Based on the calculation of the determinant of the correlation matrix, the existence of linear dependence between explanatory variables in regression models was excluded. The study was conducted on the example of women at the age of 55-59 according to statistical data of Federal State Statistics Service, Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Nature and of the Federal Treasury. The results of the regression analysis confirmed only the first hypothesis, the second one was rejected. The proportion of working women at the age of 55-59 is largely statistically associated with the mortality rate of women of the same age. In turn, economic growth, tensions on the labor market, and the level of pension provision appeared to be statistically significant factors influencing the employment of women at the age of 55-59.

Текст научной статьи Identification of interconnection between health and employment of retirement age women

According to Rosstat1, the population in Russia is gradually ageing, and, by 2036, every third resident will be over the working age2. In the future, the Russian economy, its industries, and regions of the country may experience a shortage of one of the basic factors of production – labor [1]. In 2018, the number of employed in the economy per a retiree was 1.7 persons3, and, in the future, the burden on the working population will increase. Many researchers [2-4] consider retirees’ labor activity as a tool for labor shortage mitigating. The usage of older people’s potential is not only additional manpower for the economy, but, first and foremost, the opportunity for senior citizens’ self-fulfillment [5]. Continuing labor activity retirees maintain social ties and take care of their health [6]. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the quality of human capital of older people. The study of Maleva T.M. and Sinyavskaya O.V. [7] showed that, by the time a person reaches retirement age, he or she usually has a number of chronic diseases and often disability. Therefore, the involvement of old people into labor activity and the building of the capacity of active ageing, as the researchers of the Higher School of Economics note [8], may encounter significant limitation. Pensioners’ health may limit their performance. The state policy of encouraging the employment of people of older generation (“the new pension formula”, “Strategy of action concerning senior citizens up to 2025”, raising retirement age), which has been actively developed and implemented in recent years in Russia, needs not only to create the possibility of extending the employment period for old people, but also to ensure the preservation of their satisfactory state of health. The study of the relationships between the employment of pensioners and their health will allow conducting a more effective policy in this area. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the causal relationships by on the example of the retirement age women in the most active age group.
