Abstract:
The article examined the impact on the labor supply of the Old Age Pension Act (OPA) of 1908, which introduced pensions to the elderly in the UK for the first time. The results show a significant and dramatic decline in labor force participation of 6.0 percentage points (13%) when older workers reach the age of 70.
