New interventions are needed that can raise the motivation for and success in the return to work of disability pensioners.PMID:38626789 | DOI:10.1055/a-2244-9958 (Source: Die Rehabilitation)

Sick leave and disability pension following delivery in women with systemic lupus erythematosus
CONCLUSION: SLE mothers more often had work loss in the prenatal year to 3 years postpartum compared to non-SLE mothers. Lower education and sick leave in the year of delivery were associated with a higher odds of work loss in the first year postpartum in SLE.PMID:38607692 | DOI:10.1080/03009742.2024.2321057 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology)

Working Retirees? A Liberal Case for Retirement as Free Time
AbstractRetirement is often viewed as a reward for a working life. While many have reason to want a work-free retirement, not everyone does. Should working retirees have to give up their retirement pension and, consequently, their status as retirees? The answer, I argue, boils down to whether we conceive of retirement as free time (need-free) or as leisure (work-free). In this article, I put forward a liberal case in favour of free time, despite whether our liberalism leans towards perfectionism or neutralism, with social primary goods being a case in point. Applying this case for free time to retirement yields two signifi...

Impact of multiple sclerosis on employment and income: Insights from a random sample representative of private sector employees in France using longitudinal administrative data
In conclusion, this study shows that the effects of MS on the employed population in the private sector occur early in the disease course and are cumulative, and that replacement income helps to reduce the loss of resources thanks to the French health and social system.PMID:38582662 | DOI:10.1016/j.neurol.2024.02.389 (Source: Revue Neurologique)

“I'm sorry, darling, that I missed your text; I've had 14 admissions overnight.” “Lucky and then some! Are the residents showing some pluck and helping in the fight?” “You know I find such metaphors distasteful; it's not a war; there are no enemies (except our charting software, which is h ateful), just casualties of motiveless disease.” “No pensions, then, for widowers, I gather? The kids and I are going to be miffed if night rounds do you in.” “Sorry–I'd rather continue this but must complete my shift.” “Come home. I'll pin a medal on your scrubs.” “Hilarious. Just feed me breakfast, Hubs.” ...

Does country of resettlement influence the risk of labor market marginalization among refugees? A cohort study in Sweden and Norway
Conclusions The relative risk of labor market marginalization varied by the refugees’ birth country but followed similar trends in Sweden and Norway. Although speculative, these findings may hint at non-structural factors related to the refugee experience playing a more important role than host country structural factors for the risk of labor market marginalization among refugees. Future research, including host countries with more variability in structural factors, is required to further investigate these associations. The higher risk of long-term unemployment among refugees with shorter length of stay indicates a need...

Work Preferences, Control, and Independence among Midlife and Older Adults in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Int J Aging Hum Dev. 2024 Mar 21:914150241240116. doi: 10.1177/00914150241240116. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 2023, current life expectancy for adults aged 65 and over in Aotearoa/New Zealand ranged from 84.6 to 89.2 years. Mandatory retirement has been abolished, but pension age eligibility remains at age 65. However, some older adults prefer to continue working, often experiencing a mismatch between current and preferred work statuses. The current study used data drawn from the 2020 wave of the New Zealand Health, Work and Retirement study (HWR; N = 3,916; Mage = 66.84) to examine associations between work preferenc...
