Does the Mortality of Individuals with Severe Disabilities Contribute to the Persistent East–West Mortality Gap Among German Men?

“…The long-term unemployed were eligible to apply only for a limited time, so they lacked the 5 years of paid contributions and the eligibility to apply for DP. In general, the higher proportion of disabled men in the East was confirmed by previous research (Hagen et al, 2010 ; Hagen & Himmeireicher, 2014 ).…”

“…The growing incidence in cardiovascular and musculoskeletal diseases observed among East German men is suggested to be explained by the disproportionate numbers of these men working in manual jobs with stressful environmental conditions (Hagen et al, 2010 ). Previous research has also suggested the high risk of disability due to chronic health problems associated with mental disorders and somatic illnesses in Germany, in general and among people aged 55–60 and men in the East, in particular (Hagen & Himmeireicher, 2014 ).…”

“…To qualify to receive this pension, the individual must have completed the so-called “waiting time”, or at least 5 years of employment with paid contributions, 3 years of which were during the last 5 years. More information on the DP can be found elsewhere (Bäcker, 2012 ; Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales, 2014 ; Hagen & Himmelreicher, 2014 ; Hanel, 2010 ; Kaldybajewa & Kruse, 2012 ). Selected official statistics as well as description of DP before 2001 are provided in the Online Supplementary Material (Description and Table A1) .…”

Enhancing Early Risk Detection for Reduced Earning Capacity: The Development of the padaCura App

“…In total, 80 relevant publications were identified through the REHADAT database and reviewed regarding relevant influencing factors on reduced earning capacity. These publications primarily comprised a reduced number of factors that influence the risk of reduced earning capacity, e.g., health condition, utilization of health services, and motivation to return to work (Briest 2020); a selection of sociodemographic factors (Hagen and Himmelreicher 2014); various health conditions (Roski et al 2017); or an examination of data from the German pension insurance system, which includes, for example, the duration of sickness benefits, receipt of benefits for participation in working life, gender, income, and level of education (Bethge et al 2011). Further publications address the effectiveness of medical and vocational rehabilitation programs (Dannenmaier et al 2020).…”

Raising well-being in Germany's ageing society

“…Poverty increased among the disabled and is substantially higher than for individuals without disabilities (Figure 7; Kemptner, 2014), although Figure 7 does not include the steps taken in 2014 to increase disability pension entitlements somewhat (Box 4). Individuals with weak socio-economic background face a higher risk of disability (Hagen and Himmelreicher, 2014). The share of disability benefits recipients with mental illhealth increased substantially in recent years, especially among those aged 55 to 60 (OECD, 2015c).…”
