“…This approach is different from the frequency‐based methods that have been used traditionally in studies of health and WLEs. In addition to the two studies quoted above, some references on estimating WLEs are Krishnan (1977), Hoem (1977), Gamboa et al. (1989) and Ciecka et al.…”

Working life expectancy is the future time that a person is expected to spend in employment. The paper is concerned with its estimation jointly with the expected times spent in the related states of 'on disability pension' and 'other alive'. The method, which is novel in this field, first estimates year- and age-dependent probabilities of being in the states of interest by large sample multivariate logistic regression. Estimates of probabilities, and subsequently expectancies, are given for the case of Finnish women and men aged 16-64 years for selected years in the period 1980-2001, together with projections for 2006. Since 1996 the decline in the employment of males has largely been due to the increasing popularity of early retirement. It was not due to an increase in disability. There has been no such decline for women, and the working life expectancy for males has been predicted to decline to or to fall below the initially lower figure for females by 2006. Considering that the Finnish population is aging rapidly, these trends could entail serious social and economic consequences for society in the coming years because of a looming shortage in the labour force that could undermine the sustainability of a welfare state.

“…Nurminen et al (2005) have constructed WLE for Finnish municipal workers to assess, on an average, how long 45 year old workers continue to work. In the Indian context, Krishnan (1977) has made a snapshot attempt to assess average remaining years of working life after age 60 years. Dhillon and Ladusingh (2011) studied the changing pattern of working life for males and females between 1971 and 2001.…”

“…Following Krishnan (1977), Dhillon and Ladusingh (2011) based on the analysis of working life table disaggregated by sex, found that the average years of working life at age 60 and above for males and females was 9.3 and 3.8 years in 2001. The present paper is an extension of this finding, projected into the future.…”

“…The procedure described above has been found appropriate for the construction of ordinary working life tables and a number of researchers have employed this approach (Kpedepo, 1969a(Kpedepo, , 1969bIro, 1976;Krishnan, 1977;Misiku, 1993). Other researchers have subsequently expanded the approach and come up with methodologies to generate generalised multiple-decrement tables (Schoen and Woodrow, 1988;Schoen, 1988).…”

This paper presents the results of the construction of a working life tables for males and females in South Africa using the 1996 and 2001 population censuses. The main objective of the paper is to illustrate the use of life table analysis in the examination of the labour force using South African data. The study indicates that based on the 1996 census a South African male who survives to age 15 is expected to live 40.9 years, out of which 35.3 years are expected to be spent in active status and the remaining 5.3 years in inactive years. Similar values for South African females are 49.9 years, 37.9 years and 12 years, respectively. Using 2001 census the study indicates that a South African male who survives to age 15 was expected to live 43.9 years of which 36 years will be in active and 8 years will be inactive whereas a South African female was expected to live 50 years of which 34 years will be active and 16 years will be inactive. It was estimated that out of the total number of males who left the working population in 1996, 50 percent left because of death and another 50 percent left for other reasons other than death. The corresponding figures for females are 28 percent and 62 percent respectively. In 2001, 64 percent of the males left the labour force due to deaths whereas 36 percent left due to other causes. Similar figures for females are 45 percent and 55 percent respectively. These figures suggest an increased proportion of men and women are leaving the labour force due to deaths. This means that mortality takes a heavy toll of the seemingly short economically active life. Probably, this is a reflection of the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS on the working population.
