In Europe, the starting point for the policy maker has been the increase in the statutory retirement age and the gradual phase-out of early retirement schemes. Against the common trend, the Portuguese legislator approved in 1999 an early retirement reform, allowing older workers to exibilize their retirment decision. In this paper I analyze the e¤ects of the 1999 reform on the retirement decision of the workers and the firms' employment adjustment. I find that after the reform workers retire earlier, and that the reform resulted in a job destruction process as firms do not replace old workers with young and prime age ones. I conclude that the reform failed to stimulate young employment and by allowing workers to retire earlier posed risks to the long-term sustainability of the Portuguese social security system.NSBE - UNLPortugal, PedroRUNAlecci, Andrea2013-05-24T13:51:41Z2013-012013-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/9696enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T03:43:00Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/9696Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:18:59.802132Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
