Health Status as a Determinant for Pre-Retirement Savings

Arbeitspapier

The paper aims to find out whether health status determines the level of liquid savings among a pre-retirement (50-60 years old) segment of the Czech population as retrieved from the SHARE (Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe) database, Wave 5 using a 2SLS methodology. Other demographic, health and economic characteristics are considered. We find a significant positive relationship between health and savings. It suggests that careful design of preventive health programs could ease the public pension system because if healthy, individuals could secure themselves for retirement.
