In the Journal of International Social Welfare, a comparative study among public pensions on old age mortality, explores the relationship that is commonly discussed as separate topics. The researchers examined data from 18 OECD countries during the post-war period. They wanted to estimate the impact of changes in pension rights and mortality in old-age. The report begins by asking the critical question: How could pension rights affect old-age mortality?
