| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project examined the causal impact of the duration of retirement on the cognitive functioning of male elderly workers in Japan using data from the National Survey of Japanese Elderly. We also explored how the complexity of a worker's longest served job affects cognitive functioning after retirement. Our empirical evidence suggests that the duration of retirement has a negative and significant impact on cognitive functioning. Moreover, among the eight dimensions of job characteristics, high complexity in the job’s relation to data is found to be an important job characteristic in delaying the deterioration of cognitive functioning after retirement. Furthermore, we examined the causal impact of working hours on the cognitive ability and health of people living in Australia aged 40 years and older. Our findings show that working relatively moderate hours for a week can have a positive impact on cognitive functioning and health.
